I don't know, John. You may want to do a little research on the game from which baseball evolved. Rounders included an underhand delivers years before anyone ever heard of baseball or softball. It also allow for the striker to run after three tries whether the ball was put into play or not (dropped 3rd strike).

I know the Doubleday Sect of the First Church of American Baseball have a caniption whenever someone doubts their sacred belief that Abner had something to do with the invention of baseball, but that's life.
