The following play is quoted from .... (I won't tell you where until Friday. It matters!)
Bootnose Hofmann is catching and there's a play at the plate. The runner slides around Hoffman's tag, but also misses the plate. Hoffman doesn't notice the runner missed home. When the runner reaches the dugout, the first baseman yells to Hofmann that the runner missed home. Hofmann runs into the dugout and begins tagging everybody in sight, but the runner sneaks out of the end of the dugout before he is tagged and bolts back toward home plate. Hofmann throws the ball to p[itcher Coonskin Davis, who is now covering and the runner beats the throw. Is the runner safe and do you score the run, or is he out when the team on the field begins the appeal process while he has already retired to the dugout? It's your call."
