Baseball: The Unwritten Rules
Posted on: May 13, 2010 by admin
If you are a diehard baseball fan, you know what it means when someone says the unwritten rules of baseball. Basically there are the general rules of the game that all players and coaches must follow. There are those extra set of rules though that the players follow because, well, everyone else does in the game. One of these rules is never hitting a batter with a pitch after someone hits a homerun off of you. It is way too obvious that the pitcher is upset. If you do this then it is likely the player will charge the mound. Another rule is for a base runner that is out and returning to the dugout, he never runs back across the pitchers mound. This is one of those territorial unwritten rules that players tend to follow. Now will someone be in trouble with game officials for breaking these rules? Never, just with the players themselves. So there you have it, a small sampling of some rules that are not really rules, it just depends on how you look at it.
