Text | Another objectionable custom granted to pitchers was that of allowing them to have substitutes in running the bases. After a lengthy inning in pitching, and when the pitcher happens to be the first or second striker, such a thing may be excusable; but under no other circumstances. For the very same reason the shot-stop or catcher might claim exemption from the fatigue of base-running. No man on a nine should be allowed a substitute to run bases for him unless actually disabled from running for himself by some injury or illness. |
