Could be, but I don't remember it.

But I would wonder if it was a mistake, why did it appear in both the 2011 and 2012 books.

And also the part that I keep thinking was changed, I remember as reading something like, "the pitcher is in the circle (or in position, or ready to pitch)" and the umpire says play ball (or whatever).

(That is the way I see the ball being put back in play most of the time anyway - despite the wording of the rule).....
