The dueling brushback scenario playing out in the NLCS had some of us discussing baseball’s famous unwritten rules.
Jim Caple of ESPN.com had some fun with the concept a while back.
We particularly liked this entry:
3.5: If an opponent hits a home run, you are obliged to hit another batter with a pitch, though you must not throw this pitch in the vicinity of the head. After the game, you must maintain to reporters that you were simply trying to establish the inside part of the plate. 3.51: The reporters must quote you as if it’s really true.
