Exists to prevent teams from deliberately dropping a pop up in the infield to get a double play. That means must be less than two outs, must have runners on first and second at least or bases loaded and must be pop up that isnt to the outfield. Its that last part that can be subjective and several years ago in an MLB playoff game what seemed to be a fly out to outfield that dropped was called infield fly rule and it almost caused a riot. I want to say it involved the Braves.
