This rule was implemented in all levels of baseball in the early 1960s when Bill Mazerovski (spelling), for the Pirates, was R1 on a ball hit deep down the line. He rounded second, then the ball was called foul. He then went back to second, and took one step towards first and informed the umpire this was his lead.

Thats the story I've heard... smart player.
