When did 8 run rule come into effect?

Answer 1

The 8-run rule, often associated with youth Baseball and softball leagues, varies by organization. However, it is commonly implemented to promote a more enjoyable and efficient game by allowing a team that is ahead by eight runs after a designated number of innings (usually five) to win the game. This rule has been adopted by various leagues over the years, but there is no single date of implementation as it depends on the specific league or governing body.
