It was stated that the catcher had to physically drop the ball (i.e. touch
it first) in order for the batter to run to first on a strikeout.  Wrongo!
And, yes, I guess there is no reason why the batter can't swing at a wild
pitch with 2 strikes in order to get to first.  This happens so rarely,
anyway, and is just a case of the batter taking advantage of an odd and
beneficial situation.  What's wrong with that??
