Cubs business manager Jim Gallagher, chairman of the nine-man rules
committee, announces the two leagues will implement an existing rule
during spring training that requires a hurler to throw the ball when the
bases are empty within 20 seconds after taking a pitching position. The
edict, which results with the umpire calling a ball when the tosses are
tardy, will not be in effect during the season.
The year was 1955. Funny how those things come back around.
