Brock Posted August 8 Posted August 8 about the rule for if a player is injured whil trotting our a homerun. ... This standardized rule prevents the kind of confusion seen in a famous 2008 college softball game, where a player tore her ACL running out her first career home run. The umpires mistakenly told her coach that using a pinch runner would nullify the home run and reduce the hit to a single. This prompted the opposing team to physically carry the injured batter around the bases so she could touch each one. While that incident created a legendary display of sportsmanship, a Major League Baseball player in the same situation just needs a teammate to take a light jog for them. 5 Quote
