    Just saw game 2 of the Blue Jays/Royals series (errors can really kill ya)
and I noticed something strange. Dennis Lamp, the middle reliever for the
Jays, several times made a fist with his right hand, then blew into it, doing
this while he was on the mound.  I had thought that this was only legal when
(if) the pitcher first stepped off the pitcher's mound. But I never heard
any mention of it, so I imagine I'm wrong.  Can someone tell me what the rule
really says?
