About soaking cards

Posted By: Max Weder

And of course, "soaking" was a way to get an out in the Massachusetts game, which of course did not find favor in the 19th baseball wars http://www.baseball-almanac.com/ruletown.shtml

"Basetenders (infielders) and scouts (outfielders) recorded outs by plugging or soaking runners — a term used to describe hitting the runner (tagging them did not count) with the ball."
