Baseball. Blogging. Whenever.Thursday, December 18, 2008Pedant’s CornerNote to the Wall Street Journal: It's the "Rule 5 Draft," not the "Rule V Draft." The error is one that I'd normally let slide, but the article itself contains evidence that this was not some typo:The Rule V draft fits perfectly in the lexicon of baseball, where words like "non-tendered," "infield fly," and "non-waiver trade deadline" cause casual fans to scratch their heads in bewilderment. (To answer the usual first question – V is a Roman numeral, not a letter.) In the WSJ's defense, hey, even a wrong answer is an answer. Posted by Craig Calcaterra at 1:39pm Comments

I use Rule V, always have. I also use Rule IV. I checked BA and they use Rule 5. In all things minor league, defer to BA. Posted 12/18 at 05:50 PM

Reminds me of my favorite movie: V for Vendetta. His room number was V (for 5). Can’t believe this passed the editor.
