Steve:
I would agree that a black and white reading would indicate that Carl's illustration of language would be a correct ruling. However, a black and white reading of the OBR would indicate that the base path is solely a straight line between bases.
In this case, our State FED interpreter has stated that FED did not mean for the rule to be applied as illustrated in the BRD. I acknowledge that using common sense in connection to a FED rule is dangerous, but I'll go along with Tim.
Again, with me this was not an issue of what was right or wrong with the FED rule. I have my marching orders. If it ever happens, I'll call it the way our state wants it called. My interest was in trying to understand how the play in the BRD came about and whose intepretation it represented. The answer: it's not an interpetation.
That confused me. But, what the hell, it's not about brain surgery, peace in the middle east or preserving the Mona Lisa, it's just another baseball book. I'll live.
