PONY rulebook:."The official playing rules, with the exceptions and variations contained in this book, shall be ‘‘Official Rules of Major League Baseball’’ completely revised, as released through the office of the Commissioner of Baseball." The Ponyrules do not change the OBR rule prohibiting feints to third. But local rules or practices might.
