No - you won't get an authoritative source from me. It's my contention that this is not officially ruled on. You claim MLBUM has, but I've not seen that and apparently no one else has (if they had, they would have posted it). Please enlighten us if they have and show us where.

The satement that Carl makes is documented in the BRD that he puts out every year. He even added a statement where as "MLB doesn't change the rules, only the instructions to the umpires" and
that is what causes arguments like this. I don't have a copy of the BRD at work so maybe Carl can post it. I'm suprised that all the readers of the BRD didn't jump on this statement.
