While logic may say that, the rule doesn't. It says "not yet been put out."
I'm satisfied, BTW, with a ruling / interpretation that
no one may assist a runner who has scored, I just had not previously read the exception to mean that, and I guess your recent post confirms that it doesn't - i.e. a runner may, indeed, assist a runner who has scored, assuming the runner can do that without passing or scoring.
And, the "debate" about whether a runner is still a runner after having scored is a bit anal and baseball-like.
Given all of this, here is the only scenario I can think of where a runner can legally assist a runner who has scored. R1 scores but misses home. R1 heads back toward her 3rd base dugout. R2 was also heading home and saw R1 miss the base. R2 deviates from her base path and gives R1 a push back toward home without passing her. R2 then follows R1 back to home and touchs right after R1 retouches. Legal, right?
Glen, how about the rest of the story?
