Actually GM, speaking FED: there is a case play (8.3.3.B I think) that says that after waiting a sufficient period of time for a play to be made, the umpire should call TIME and declare the trailing runner out.

That sounds sensible, though I wonder whether anyone has ever actually had to make that call. Supposedly, there's a real-life case in baseball where four runners were occupying the three bases, and some guy hit a 5-run home run. "Grandest of all slams," I guess, and a record for RBIs on one swing.
