identifying runners

Just been reading some of the posts and was wondering where the identification of runners started/whats the reason behind the labeling system?

IMO, its overly complicated to say R# is on base X when the # does not equal base X.

for example, runners on 1st and 3rd. the current system as used would say R1 on 3rd, R2 on first. Why wouldnt it be easier to say R3 and R1 where the # corresponds to what base they are actually on?
