Got me thinking so I checked the rules. FED requires the batting order and subs "should" be listed. No penalty if not. (By the book. In your local area the myth may still persist or your state may want something else.)
The MLB rule on their website require only the "Batting Order" presented to the umpire at the plate conference. The batting order is defined in my LGB as the defensive lineup plus DH but it is not defined in the MLB website rule. It would be interesting to hear what MLB anf MiLB require in their various divisions and how they keep track of whose legal on the roster and at the game site.
