Uniforms, from their purpose to their design, have changed dramatically since baseball’s early days in the mid 1800’s. No more bow ties, collared shirts, or wool pants.

Baseball is a game of rules. 169 pages of rules to be exact. Three strikes, you’re out. Four balls? Take your base! The ball bounced in the outfield and went into the stands? Ground rule double. Arguing with the umpire about balls and strikes? Ejected. 

Baseball’s long history means rules have been around for a LONG time. Some have stuck and some have disappeared into history. Let's look at some of those weird rules from baseball's past - today on Rounders: A History of Baseball in America.

Fan Corrections:

It’s the second inning and you’ve just been called from the bullpen as a reliever. The starting pitcher just gave up a double and a single to start the game, and your manager needs you to get out of the inning.

As you take the mound you look at the upcoming batters for your opponent, the New York Yankees. Next up? The legendary Babe Ruth. If you somehow get around him, the great Lou Gehrig is on deck. An impossible situation for any reliever.  What to do? Pitch like a girl.
