Definitely put in for overtime, Steve.

These rules and clarifications were written in 1954 and 1963. I guess that after more than four decades, it's time the umps started observing them.

From 1961: On a ground ball by Bobby Richardson, Clete Boyer (with a great jump, perhaps a hit and run) beats Eddie Kasko's toss to Elio Chacon. (The ball is by Chacon's left knee.)


How better to gain your balance than to grab Chacon's hands . . .


and then maintain your balance sensibly?


Richardson barely beat Chacon's weak and off-line throw.

1948: When men were men.
