Mike can you explain to us why they cannot be called out
for abanding a base when three different case book plays
tell us that they can.

Thanks,

Glen,

No, I'm afraid they do not do that. Please read the rule cited and find the similar caveat which allows the umpire to call a player out?

Mike,

Are you referring to Rule 8-5A? Why would the casebook contradict this ruling.
