Text	[reporting on the NL special meeting 3/3-3/4/1886] Rule 5 was amended to give the pitcher an extra foot of space in his box, which in the future will be 7 feet by 4 feet instead of 6 feet by 4 feet. The Sporting Life March 10, 1886 [reporting on the AA special meeting of 3/1-3/3/1886] The pitcher's box is made seven feet long instead of six, as heretofore, and the stone slab becomes a part of every diamond by the adoption of this rule. “In front of this space (the pitcher's box) must be a smooth flat stone one foot broad, fixed in the ground even with the surface. This stone must extend across the entire space, one side to be on the forward line of the square and the other one foot outside of the box.” The Sporting Life March 10, 1886
