I have been a baseball fan since I can remember and a history major/buff my whole life and have studiesd the game of base ball, as it was called then...2 words, and I never knew until Sunday that by the original rules of the professional game that after a runner crossed the plate they had to go to the official scorer's table and ring the bell to tally the score.

They could no longer be tagged out but if they did not ring the bell before the 1st pitch to the next batter the tally (tey weren't called runs until 1876) didn't count.
