Bluezebra,
Upon reading your investigative post I was sure your keen scrutiny had indeed found a weakness in my ability to retain portions of the very complicated rules of baseball. Yes, I must admit I was recalling this ruling using nothing but my fading memory and I also will be the first to admit that I do make mistakes at time. But. . . . . After further review I find that paragraph 18 of the MLB official rules, 10.00, the official scorer section, does indeed contain the aforementioned information in item (i). Conformation can be made by using the following link to 10.18.
