Keep in mind, it's not an online only feature. It is a feature taken from the CDROM game (which is logical when you consider the online game pretty much uses the CDROM game engine.
From the CDROM help file:
MORE BASERUNNING DECISIONS (Located in the Options/Rules/Maximum Rules dialog)
Using this option allows for more baserunning decisions because it does not follow the board game rules for baserunning. For instance, using this option you will often be asked if you wish to send a runner from first to third on a Single* or a Single** reading. In the board game Single* means a single with runners advancing one base and Single** means a single with runners advancing two bases (it is automatic in both cases, no option exists). PLEASE NOTE: This option is not included in the DOS version of the game so draft leagues which mix DOS and CD-ROM gamers should not use it.
This option also allows certain basehits to be stretched. For instance, some singles will have an option to be stretched into a double, some doubles to triples and some triples to inside the park homeruns!
