Spit ball pitchers were allowed to continue by the majors for their careers after 1920. A batsman may be removed at any time and the substitute takes the current counts. The proper batsman may replace the improper one when the mistake is found and inherits the existing balls and strikes. The batter always earns a hit credit on such plays regardless of game status.
