So..lol..I am trying to keep a straight face as I say this...you think that MLB put this in the rule book..let me break this description by MLB down.

A pitcher steps toward third...doesn't take his foot off the rubber (according to you) and then somehow with one foot on the rubber, one foot on the third base side of the mound attempts to throw to first...

This practice was such an issue that MLB felt of all the rules in the book, this one needed the example put in the book? Get the F out of here if you believe that...
