Well, if this ever happens, there have to be several people asleep...umpires, defensive coaches and players, fans,..etc. I would expect somebody to pick up on this.


Purely my opinion, since I don't have rulebooks right here to refer to, but I think if any pitches have been thrown to the same batter that originally hit the foul ball and nothing has happened, ie no hits, passed balls or wild pitches, I would move the runner back to first base and play on.

If something had happened as in #2 or #3, play stands. I think this falls in the "can't unring the bell" category, because there is no way that you could go back in time and recreate what might have happened.
