Credit where credit’s due, yes?

Yes!
Wow.
I remember seeing an article (when I was very young) about how to execute a rundown. “Whenever it takes more than two throws” McDougal said, “it’s being done wrong.” Or words to that effect.
But baseball teams almost never do rundowns like that. Every time I’ve seen a rundown in the last 40 years I wondered why McDougal didn’t straighten them out. Or at least explain why they don’t do rundowns like they used to.
Thanks, Bob. That’s good.
