The troll question is just too easy, so I'll pass.
As far as 7-3-1 goes, I'm sure anybody who says that they have never seen it, means that they have never seen it enforced (right, mccrowder?).
I have been doing top-level HS Varsity ball since 1987, and not one single time have I ever called it, or seen it called by anybody. My Varsity 7-inning games average between 1:40 and 1:55 in length. If I think a batter is starting to stall or delay my post-game sandwich, I say, "hey, get in the box." I've never had one defy my order as of yet.
So, the bottom line is, a batter stepping out of the box to get his sign does in no way significantly delay the game. To say that two minutes transpire between pitches is ridiculous.
