Talk:Unwritten rules of baseball

Rename page
We should rename to "Formerly unwritten rules of baseball" (and update text accordingly) --12.165.188.175 (talk) 19:32, 5 April 2021 (UTC)


 * I second this, otherwise the name is fundamentally incorrect. If the rules are written ≠ unwritten rules. Nevermalenko (talk) 18:19, 8 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Even though I (and others) have written down these unwritten rules, the WP:COMMONNAME for the topic remains "unwritten rules of baseball". – Muboshgu (talk) 18:47, 8 February 2024 (UTC)

More unwritten rules
If it was an unwritten rule that Black men could not play is it still an unwritten rule that women can't play? /mjp (talk) 23:14, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Women can play major league ball if they can make the team, nobody will deny a woman a place on the roster if she can hit .350 and field like Brooks Robinson. Although it seems surprising nobody has at least let a woman bat just to set that precedent (see Women in baseball as well as the Negro league players Toni Stone, Mamie Johnson, and Connie Morgan). Bill Veeck played a very short person once, Eddie Gaedel, but then the president of the AL closed that door (although I doubt that would be still valid).

Another unwritten rule for pitchers

 * Do not publicly criticize the team's offense, even in the National League.

I think there was something about this in The New York Times Magazine a while back. I'll try to find it. Daniel Case (talk) 04:53, 14 August 2022 (UTC)
