I don't know about the most stupid rules, but I agree with this.
Which brings me to another couple of rules that need to be addressed.
Intentional walks.
Just tell the ump you intend to walk the batter and let the ump simply award him the base rather than waste the time to toss the 4 pitches.
And don't give me the old, "Well the pitcher might throw a wild pitch" argument.
How many times has anyone ever seen that?
In football, defensive holding should not be an automatic first down.
