Not picking on you Sam, basically all answered the same,
just used your quote to get my question in.
When I first read this post I agreed wholeheartly.
I probably still agree, but now I am confused
a little...oh what the hell, a lot. Just need some
straightening out from some of the more experienced
umpires on this Forum.
Definition of Force Out. page 49
If the forced runner, after touching the next base,
retreats for any reason towards the base last occupied,
the force play is reinstated and the runner may again be
put out if the defense tags runner/base to which runner
is forced.
Natch,
, I only quoted what applied best to fit what
I am asking. Is the answer staring me in face, the fact
that runner "attained" and not "touched the base?
Thanks
