This rule change is listed on the Cosmic Baseball website (thanks, BigUmp56, for supplying the link). Many scoring changes are later rescinded, but apparently not this one.
So in MLB today, is a strikeout not credited on a wild pitch that allows the BR to reach 1B?

Item 433 in the BRD indicates that FED, NCAA, and OBR are now in agreement, so text deleted in 2000. 10.14(f)(1)(i) is is referenced for OBR scoring rule which says "when the third strike is a wild pitch, permitting the batter to reach first base, score a strikeouit and a wild pitch."
