Hmmm.... if the 1+1 myth is the "least pernicious", then ALL OTHER myths are worse...
However, since the result of this myth (if the myth is held by the umpire, or he is talked into it by the DC), is converting a 2 base award into a one base award if the runner is reversing direction, it would not seem to me to be harmless.
BTW, didn't at least one code contain the 1+1 rule? I'm thinking U-trip?
