2010 RULE CHANGES ANNOUNCED BY NFHS

INDIANAPOLIS, IN (July 6, 2009) - The clarification of baseball bat specifications was among ...

 

Professional Rules Changes Since the 1850's.

Umpiring Timeline

1878 - The National League instructed home teams to pay umpires $5 per game.

 The MLB Strike Zone: A historical timeline (from the MLB site)

1996 - The Strike Zone is expanded on the lower end, moving from the top of the knees to the bottom of the knees.

A little known fact... The first testicular guard (cup) was used in baseball in 1874 and the first helmet was used in 1934. To some this proves it took 60 years for men to realize that the brain is also important.
