Why tag hitters after they strike out?
They aren't out on a dropped third strike. They can run to first.
If it hits the ground, the batter can run to 1st, barring they'res no one standing on 1st.
1941 World Series: MASN's Phil Wood gets lots of criticism here, but baseball lore gets kids interested in the sport. I read about this historic game as a kid.
