A little off-topic, but somewhat related:
To date, pro baseball rules still state, "If a lefthanded or righthanded pitcher swings his free foot past the back edge of the pitcher’s rubber, he is required to pitch to the batter except to throw to second base on a pick-off play."
I've always wondered why they just don't remove the words I underlined. I mean, why bother?
