I have seen two versions of this interpretation. In OBR, can the BR overrun first base (similar to a grounder)after a base on balls?
This is one area that IMO MLB needs to re-think and change to the FED ruling.
Why!
The reason the rule-makers allow B1 to over-run/over-slide first base to beging with is to make a play close and put excitement into the game.
When B1 walks, there is now no need to over-run/over slide first because the theory "make a play close" is no longer relevant.
