Baseball Rules Quiz From a Historical Prompt
The umpire rules a pitch as strike if it meets strike specifications, regardless of contact with the batter. The spit ball was allowed to continue for pitchers through their careers after a 1920 ruling. A batsman may be removed at any time with the substitute taking the existing ball and strike count. The proper batsman can replace the improper batter when discovered and inherits the current count. A batter is credited with a hit on a play where a two out batted ball retires the side.
