Did you use the MLB rules in your leagues? And were your leagues were serious enough that the umps even knew the rules? Cause I know a lot of people get very serious about sports in, say, high school... but I bet a ton of the officials in high school sports, baseball included, don't know anything except the rules that come up in every series.

You sorta illustrate your ignorance again by suggesting high school baseball is serious youth baseball. Dude, I rode a chartered bus out of state as a ten year-old to play baseball. A bus, dude.

And if you're so enlightened about the "intent" of a rule that says something that has a very plain, literal meaning, then please do share what this intent is and how it is that you know it.

The intent of the rule is to keep baserunners from escaping a rundown by veering wildly off the basepath. It is not meant to be applied to a play at the plate. I know this because that's how baseball's played.
