Tie goes to the runner!!!

I know y'all have heard that one. Kinda drives ya batty.

Here's my three favorite baseball rule myths in no particular order. Yeah, they bring a smile to my face!

1. A batter who has walked (base on balls) can over-run first just like a batter who's hit a ground ball and not be tagged out if he "returns immediately."
(of course he can't, once he's past first and/or off the bag, he can be put out when tagged)

2. If a fielder hits a batted ball with his thrown (detached) glove, the batter-runner gets three bases from the time the glove hit the batted ball.
(no, the batter-runner gets three bases from the time of the pitch, if he tries for home, he's out if tagged)

3. On the ole fake to third then throw to first pick-off move, the pitcher's pivot foot can remain in contact with the pitcher's plate during the entire move.
(no, he can't "wheel" so his pivot foot must disengage the pitcher's plate on the move to third)

How about y'all. Got any favorites?
