I actually suspect they didn’t know. When a sport is played one way for 200 years, you don’t read the rule book to check, you just copy what everyone is doing!

On the local elementary school field, sure.

At the highest levels of the sport, they know the rulebook like the back of their hand.

Even the commentators knew. They called it out as it happened. It was absolutely common knowledge.
