Best Answer

The infield fly rule in Baseball was changed to prevent infielders from intentionally dropping a pop-up to create a double play opportunity, which was seen as unfair to the batting team. The rule change ensures that the batter is automatically out if a pop-up can be caught with ordinary effort by an infielder.
