The sole purpose of the bunt is to score nothing more than 1 run... and has been that way since the beginning of time.
Incorrect. In Triple Play 98 there was a secret player named Erik Kiss. Any contact he made with the ball, even a bunt, was a homerun. So if there were runners on base and you bunted with him, bam! More than 1 run.
