"Hint = key word = immediate."
If you are going to use the dictionary definition of words to make a ruling, then please let us know how you call an "out of the baseline" violation in a rundown.
Do you subscribe to the "runner makes his own baseline" approach or do you use the actual words which read:
"7.08 Any runner is out when_
a) 1) He runs more than three feet away from a direct line between bases to avoid being tagged unless his action is to avoid interference with a fielder fielding a batted ball;"
If you accept that this rule may not mean exactly what it says in terms of strict dictionary definitions , then you have to accept that other rules may not mean what the exact definition means.
