At that point, the Dodgers had been out of Brooklyn for less than two years.
Each chapter was either a replay or a theoretical play highlighting obscure baseball rules that if called correctly would change the outcome that resulted from the actual call on the field.
Well, the tragedy of the Dodgers departure is now 67 years in the past. The Dodgers have been in Los Angeles longer than they were in Brooklyn.
And until I read this post I still had never heard of the lodged ball rule.
I knew of this rule from back in High School, playing softball in PE Class, under supervision of the coach of our school’s baseball team. A ball got hit out to left field and stuck under the bottom edge of the perimeter chain link fence.
Barring that experience, tho’, I’d probably not know the rule.
