SamC & Others,
This does work. My Partner and I used this procedure twice
in games yesterday. Since seeing this post, we naturally
discussed this in our pregame. On one of the plays, I was
the BU and had to cover 3rd on the play. Nothing happened
ball was thrown out of play, but we had it covered.

Hey Glen,
Thanks for the validation. It seems that I might have backed off of my idea somewhat prematurely.
Now if I can only convince people to put the BU in B with a runner on 2nd with 1st base open, and let the PU take the steals of 3rd, then we won't have as big a problem with the BU getting in posiion to see a pulled foot at 1st.
