fedoradude > The ball was delivered underhand by the hurler (pitcher in modern terms)....  Most interestingly, base ball in the Victorian Era was designed to be a hitting game for the enjoyment of the cranks (fans in modern terms).  Therefore, the batsman or stryker would request where he wanted the pitch to be (high, low or fair) and the hurler was expected to put it there for the stryker to be able to hit it.  To do otherwise, was considered ungentlemanly and would result in 1 warning.  After the 2nd warning, the stryker was awarded first base.
