What if F3 jumps to catch an errant throw from an infielder, and in doing so, F3's foot is removed from the base. But F3's shoe is untied and the untied lace is in contact with 1B a the time F3 catches the throw, which beats B1 to 1B. Would you count that as an out?
If so, than why not have all F3's use extra-long laces in their shoes and try remain "in contact" with 1B at all times?!?
