Most obscure, least known baseball rule
Realizing that I didn't know the "ground rule triple" rule - as discussed in the other thread - made me wonder what baseball rule might be the least well known.
I nominate that one. Any other candidates?

The amount of people who have no idea what the infield fly rule is surprises me.

Got 5/5 on my random quiz, but I think I just ran hot. Played in college but I was very unsure on at least two of those rules, and am positive at least one of those was called differently in a game I played in.

Re: Most obscure, least known baseball rule
Damn, I got 4/5 on my random quiz.
I'm really not that good with some of the rules though. I think some of the balk stuff definitely qualifies as some of the least known. Especially hidden-ball trick type stuff. But ground-rule triple stuff definitely is way up there. I imagine MANY baseball fans know nothing of that rule. I'm trying to think of something that would be even less known but am not immediately coming up with anything.
