Confused just Call it the phantom Rule. It might be on one of the last rules in the Book but its in the forefront this season. It was approved in 1952 and has been changed several times a As have All rules a Over the years. The latest version of the phantom Rule was written 10 years analysis ago but it has previously not come into play. Galarraga can Wake the phantom.
