What rule? If you mean it's a balk:

It certainly is NOT a rule in OBR.

It is a rule that should be headed off in FED.

It was when Hernandez was with the Cardinals, so it wouldn't have been the Gooden call.

And just to show I'm not delusional, I found a reference to "the Keith Hernandez rule" in another discussion thread: Was at a game yesterday and had some serious issues with this dude's mechanic. Is this a balk? : baseball

You have to scroll down a bit (or search for Keith).

And to concur you are not delusional, 2015 OBR has removed the indent for the penalty in 5.02 (4.03). I thought it was a copy and paste issue with your post. I don't think they want a fielders balk though.
