I don't know of any other code that uses that line, though many coaches and even umpires have tried to make such a claim to me in both OBR and ASA.

In its baseball clinics, Fed emphasizes that rule, which is probably why so many people have assumed that it applies to other codes.
Well you scared me - I even came home and pulled out my rulebook and then logged on and saw your post. I would say that's stupid in baseball too.
