Why do they throw the ball around the horn after a third strike when did it start?

Throwing the ball around the horn allows the fielders to stay focused and gives the pitcher time to prepare for the next hitter. There are several formulas to how the ball should be thrown around the infield, however the only real rule for a ball being thrown around the horn is it must end at 3rd base before being given back to the pitcher.

What are some of baseball's unwritten rules?
Don't crowd the plate. If you do, the pitcher will throw at your head. The strike zone. According to the rules, it extends from the batter's knees to his shoulders. In actual practice, however, umpires consider the waist to be the top of the strike zone. This changed a little bit a few years ago, when the MLB "reminded" the umpires what the "official" strike zone was, but still, very few umpires are going to call a chest-high pitch a strike.
