It’s the dumbest rule in sports. And especially dumb in the lower levels of baseball. Little league kids that can barely throw strikes, manage a strikeout and then the catcher whiffs it and little Johnny gets a free base . Meanwhile the pitcher has to throw another 25 pitches to get out of the inning. All while leagues are trying to keep pitch counts down.

Saw it yesterday watching recorded Mysteries at the Museum with the wife:
It was always a part of the rules. Catchers used to stand several feet beyond the bag and catch the ball off the bounce.
Someone came up with the curve ball. Always struck out the guy, but off the bounce it would fly way off to the right and not get caught.
So they moved the catcher forward to catch the ball without a bounce. This beat the shite out of his hands, so he made an early catching glove out of old leather gloves.
