'Today, I was reading the OBR (yeah, yeah, I know, different sport), and in its Rule 9.05, GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS TO UMPIRES, it says "Carry your rule book. It is better to hold the game up for ten minutes to decide a knotty problem than to have a game thrown out on protest and replayed."'

That was written by Alexander Cartwright, and the baseball pundits never removed it.
