I understand the rule. I just pointed out ASA's error in wording. In fact, as I have mentioned before, the phrase "anyone other than another runner" is overly broad. The shortstop qualifies under that definition.
Actually, I never thought of the point Chuck and Steve brought up: does a runner who has been put out qualify as a runner for the purposes of 8-7-E?
Hey! There's another error. In rule 8, under section 7, the note says "Effect - Section 8 A–E." Obviously, that should read "Section 7 A-E."
Greymule,
Maybe you should take some time away from softball and get some new interests! LOL
Right on, Elaine. Problem is, I am a professional editor and can't help but notice the errors in every printed communication I see: menus, billboards, notices, flyers, street signs. It's awful. Ignorance would be bliss.
