I would consider you to be borderline correct. >;-))

Can you cite the part that requires a runner to be standing erect on a base before an umpire can kill the ball. If the play is over, it's over.

I didn't say I would kill the play when the basrunner was standing erect on the base.

Just how long would you wait to kill the ball? What if the runner was content to remain prone until play was suspended? BTW, I did exactly that a few years back when I was playing. An umpire would not kill the ball, so I just laid back, still in contact with the base, pulled my hat over my face and told him I had all night. He eventually killed the ball, I got up and the game went on.

Not sure if I would've told that one Mike. lol
