Huh. I thought it came from coaches' superfluous attempts to correct umpires.
I had a pitcher step off and throw a pick-off out of play. The coach politely asked why I had awarded the runner 3B. When I explained, he said that a pitcher MUST step off before throwing over. "That's not a rule, coach."
Eh, Mike's story is
much better.
