AER Rule Submission 14: Philadelphia (1; 2.00)

That's far enough.
Philadelphia submitted and successfully passed the addition of Rule 2.00(Swing). The rule was submitted in response to a call of "No Swing" by 1B Umpire Will Little (93). At the time of the egregious error in umpire conduct, Washington was leading over Pittsburgh 4-3. Washington ultimately won the contest 10-7.

2.00 SWING - It is a swing if the bat moves forward.

Philadelphia now has 4 points in the AER standings (0 Previous + 2 New Rule + 2 Submission Passed = 4). Philadelphia moves from T-12th to T-3rd.
