I don't think so.. Do you? No way, you are heading back to the inter-innings baselines just as fast as the fielders are retiring to the dugout. The 4th out is not an appeal play so end of story. Put this one to bed.

If you're never concerned with the possibility of a fourth out on an appeal, then if I were you, I'd read and learn POE #1 M. that covers it, or else, you just better hope that you are never faced with a situation of that type.
If you're heading to whereever you go between innings as fast as you can and not paying attention to what's going on in the game, you might miss the defense making a play that they are entitled to do to prevent a run from scoring.
By the same thinking, I guess it'd make about as much sense as running for your car as soon as you assume the last play of the game is made, without sticking around for what could be an "appealable" play. But that would require reading of POE #1 N. in advance too.
