Odd, but not out: Baseball's most bizarre rule [View all]
I found this interesting - how the rule came about that allows a batter who swings and misses for Strike Three to take first base if the catcher drops the ball.
(And, another piece of trivia: Justin Verlander became the only pitcher to ever join the 3000 Strikeout Club on a wild pitch that allowed the batter to go to first base)
