In OBR, there is no mention of a batter-runner over running first base on a BB, therefore he may do so. In FED baseball, 8-4-2h exception specifically mentions the possibility and the BR is in jeopardy to be put out. FED softball does not make that distiction just as OBR, so perhaps the myth should be written as such:
·The batter may not overrun first base when he/she gets a base-on-balls WITHOUT LIABILITY TO BE PUT OUT. FALSE in all codes except high school, but in baseball only. This is TRUE if a league is using high school baseball rules. See high school baseball rule 8-4-2h exception.
The information about HS needs to be put in there as the leagues in my area use FED rules. ASA is practically non-existent in this area.
Thoughts?
