Strike 2 is foul tipped into the mit and its strike 2. 3rd strike is foul tipped into the mit and it's an out. What is the difference?
I tried to answer, but I really didn't know myself....I've just always accepted that was the rule. basically WHY is it the case on the 3rd strike

I'm not saying 'I don't care about a win, just don't get hurt.'
If you can't comprehend what I was saying, you should strip yourself as a mod (well, you should do that anyways, because you're a garbage moderator).

where is mhs..he's the ultimate analyzer[/QUOTE Baseball has quite a few odd rules. The easiest answer is because it is the third strike. He isn't out because it was caught, he is out because he swung and the ball didn't hit the ground on the foul tip. Just like why is a dropped 3rd strike not an out until it is thrown to a base, or tagged the runner? Because an out has to end with someone catching the ball/having it in his glove tagging someone out. On a steal if it is foul tipped into the glove play goes on and the steal is good.
I think I read that once that someone supposedly had proof that someone else started the game earlier. Just like Naismith is credited for inventing basketball, I imagine someone at sometime before that started to do something similar and probably could lay claimAzubuike24;1477967 wrote:I thought I read somewhere that Doubleday didn't create baseball.
