You have been corrected, softballjunky. Several times now. Please read the WHOLE rule - not just the exception. You're missing the point of the rule, which is to "make right" what was made wrong by the OBS by a fielder.
Your interp is extremely unfair to the offense (not to mention not supported by the rulebook). I ask you - read the lengthy post of my directed to Mr. Cannizzo - tell me how you'd rule, and if you're giving her third, read the second post where the OBS is not intentional.
PS to Mr. Cannizzo - it was when you said, "Clearly, (at least to me), the runner must make the attempt and be put out in order to be awarded a base," that I formed the opinion that you thought the runner must make the attempt and be put out in order to be awarded a base. If I misunderstood you while copying and pasting your words here, please forgive me.
