I thinks it's stupid.......so what if there's 45 runs a game. Baseball is not the perfect game like some of you idiots think. If that were the case it would not be right handed biased. In other words, a left hander can never be a shortstop. That's stupid. Maybe they should start another league where you run the bases counter clockwise. I could have been a good infielder.....but they always stuck me in the outfield 'cause I was left handed. Bastards.
Back in the day, pitchers used to pitch from a pitchers box.
Then pitchers realized that they can gin velocity by throwing slightly downhill.
So they instructed the grounds crew to dump dirt in the pitchers box.
Then certain pitchers started manipulating the height of the 'mound' to suit their pitching styles.
So the powers that be regulated the height at 15".
Rumor has it though, the Dodger staffs with Drysdale, Koufax, and the rest ignored the 15" rule and still manipulated the height of the mound.
