"Two from the outfield, one from the infield" ranks with "one plus one" as a top myth in awarding bases. But I still hear it several times a year.

Even in OBR, this is a myth. The award is two bases from last base legally touched no matter who throws the ball, with the exception of (1) first play by an infielder, where it's 2 bases from TOP, and (2) a throw by F1 in contact with the rubber, where it's 1 base from LBLT.
