That's certainly what the rules posted on the MLB.com website still say.

However, the document linked below, which I found posted on the Wendelstedt Umpire School Forum, supports what Bob says.

Gentlemen, this is all well and good but when Summer ball and Legion comes, this document is useless unless the rule is changed in the book. To my knowledge, this has not been done yet.

I don't think they've published the 2010 rule book on paperback yet...

As many "interpretations", items and "rulings" from Evans....... I'll believe it when I see it in print!

Also note, that PDF from Evans has no notation of being approved by MLB, either!

OBR ruling is still dirt circle, regardless of wipe. Haven't seen anything in print to change what is in the book.
