Found July 04, 2007 on The Futon Report:
Wow, MLB Has A Delay Of Game Penalty
TEAMS: Cleveland Indians,  Detroit Tigers
PLAYERS: Rafael Betancourt
Twice in Tuesday night's game against the Detroit Tigers, Cleveland Indians relief pitcher Rafael Betancourt's unusually long, frustrating windup invoked a normally dormant rule that one must throw the ball within 12 seconds if nobody's on base, or have it be called a ball. And we're just _now_ using this rule?

    Wow! I didn't even know that rule existed. Thank God. I hope they keep enforcing it. With no time limits on anything (well, I guess now one thing), baseball is long enough as it is.
