MLB Ready To Outlaw Third-To-First Trick Move
Oct 31, 2014 1:37 PM
Major League Baseball is poised to outlaw the much-maligned move, the fake-to-third, throw-to-first ploy that often succeeds only in getting the whole ballpark to shout "Balk!"
"I think they should get rid of it," Yankees reliever Boone Logan said. "Us lefties can't do that. If we do, they call a balk."
"Besides, how often does it work? Maybe once in never," he said.
The Playing Rules Committee has approved a proposal to make it a balk, too, with MLB executives and umpires in agreement.
