How about the "2nd strike" not caught rule?
Had this happen in a game to decide the league champs. Bottom 7, tie score, home team runner on 3rd. Swinging strike 2, BR hauls butt down to first, catcher panics throws the ball over F3's head...winning run scores.
Defensive team coach has a stroke, claims I should send R3 back to third. My response, "Coach, shouldn't your players know the count?"
