Text | [reporting on the rules changes] Under the chapter of definitions the term “block” was added, which, defined, means a batted for thrown ball stopped or handled by any one not in the game. Previously such a ball would have been terms as “dead,” and all runners sent back to their bases if they had left them. [N.B. This is incorrect.] Under the new arrangement a base-runner can go as far as he can before the ball is thrown to the pitcher, who must be in his position. Again, if the ball is stopped, held or thrown out of the way by an outsider with the evident intention of helping a base-runner, then the umpire shall declare to what base the runner is entitled. |
