To cut the cost of lost foul balls, the committee urges that [[batter (baseball)|batters]] who foul off good strikes are to be disciplined. The [[American League]] will not adopt this rule until the 1903 season. Other new rules: [[catcher]]s must play within 10 feet of the batter; a [[Strike zone#Definition|ball]] will be called if the [[pitcher]] does not throw to a ready and waiting batter within 20 seconds, and players using indecent or improper language will be banished by the [[umpire (baseball)|umpire]].

* May 27 – [[Third baseman]] [[Jimmy Burke (baseball)|Jimmy Burke]] of the [[Milwaukee Brewers]] sets an [[American League]] record by committing four errors in an inning.
