As far as 7-3-1 goes, I'm sure anybody who says that they have never seen it, means that they have never seen it enforced (right, mccrowder?).

I have been doing top-level HS Varsity ball since 1987, and not one single time have I ever called it, or seen it called by anybody. My Varsity 7-inning games average between 1:40 and 1:55 in length. If I think a batter is starting to stall or delay my post-game sandwich, I say, "hey, get in the box." I've never had one defy my order as of yet.

So, the bottom line is, a batter stepping out of the box to get his sign does in no way significantly delay the game. To say that two minutes transpire between pitches is ridiculous.
Well, my patience came to an end, so I dashed off a reply explaining how absurd most of the posts in this thread are.

I pasted it into WordPerfect to check the spelling (looking for typos, you understand: I know how to spell - grin), then did a quick word count: nearly 1100 words. Far too many for a message, just about right for a rebuttal article.

I'll post it tomorrow.
