danreeves,

From JEA:

Quote:
...Until 1964, the pitcher was required to come to a complete stop of at least one full second before delivering the ball to the batter. The "one second" was dropped from the 1964 rule and the "complete stop" became the arbitrary discretion of the umpire.
So, the correct response to the coach is, "Not since 1964, Skip."
