If the IFF rule is in place to prevent multiple plays on R's... Why is it limited to 1st and 2nd and 1st, 2nd, and 3rd? Why doesn't it include a runner on 1st alone?
TIA
Because if the BR opts not to run, s/he doesn't deserve to be protected. When it is 1st & 2nd, there are two runners other than the BR that can be hung out to dry.
