Rule 10- Official Scorer and putout

[yawetag]

Isn't it the other way around? The "defensive indifference" was added:

10.07(g): The official scorer shall not score a stolen base when a runner advances solely because of the defensive team’s indifference to the runner’s advance. The official scorer shall score such a play as a fielder’s choice.

This is the sole reason no one will ever break Rickey Henderson's record of SB.
