It certainly has, but that shouldn't mean it's a fair rule. Especially when it's a sinking line drive to right and the fielder dives & misses it and the ball rolls 50-75 feet to the wall with nobody in sight to pick it up. It should up to the umpires to place the runners on circumstances like tonight.
