Andy, yes we did have a play last night that prompted this question. Runner on first, ground ball forced runner at second base. She slid going in to second and then stood up and got in second baseman's way, not allowing the second baseman a play at first. She tried a play but had to rainbow her thtow so it was no where close to getting the girl at first. You could tell it wasn't intentional. Dave

If the fielder received the ball in time to put out a runner and couldn't get rid of the ball before the runner completed her slide and then stood up (even on a pop-up slide), the only way there is a double play is if the BR is my dead 102 year-old grandmother.
