If a player is ejected during a live-ball situation, is he required to continue his baserunning responsibilities before leaving play? Does the ejection create a defacto dead ball?
What prompted this was Albert Pujols's ejection after a walk. They didn't show if he made it to 1B - but I was wondering if he did. This could happen in many different circumstances, and I'm curious how you'd rule. Consider in your responses only cases where the player is not also ruled OUT for whatever he did to get ejected. What if, in this case, the ball had gotten away. Could runners advance? Could Pujols try for 2B? etc.
