Kalix and fellow Superiors,

With all due respect, I began the thread with a reference to JR, situations not covered in the rule book.

Hilarious comments aside, I made up the "stuff" based on my understanding of the real history of baseball (not Lil Abner D's), the intent of the rulemakers, and above all, the spirit of the game. However, I see that sometimes to keep the harmony and peace, one has to tow the party line and not make waves, which is pretty much the philosophy found on this website. F, CLASS FAILED!

The tag rule does apply at all FOUR bases. The lil wordsters were ALL RIGHT! Each and every one of them. PLEEASEEE FORGIVE little ole me FOR HAVING YOU READ TOO MUCH or MAKING YOU RESPOND! Such wize comments, as the NO Force per rulebook, remind me of those RUNNERS out of George's sock, Jose's nose and Reggie's butt. But nobody saw the humor in them at the time, either. IF ONLY THAT FIRST BASEMAN WOULD HAVE TOUCHED THE BAG OR TAGGED THAT RUNNER, IT WOULD HAVE REMOVED THE FORCE and EDITED THE MY RULEBOOK!

My question concerns the 3-foot rule these top/big/mean dogs stated and someone else confirmed. By the way lil wordsters, that was one hell of a BANGER or BANGOR. Where I come from? That' MY UMPIRE'S DECISION and it's SAFE!

I hope you FLIP-FLOPS learned something while I limp away to heal with a few bite marks! ADIOS FOR A LONG WHILE!
