"You need to get a 2005 rule book."
I have one. I quoted it above. It says the same thing that the 2004 and 2003 books say - the runner is allowed to return during dead ball.
"The umpire's aware was correct and R1 could have returned to touch 2B prior to the award."
No question that the umpire's aware (award?) is correct, nor that the rules says the runner can return.
The question I asked is was that rule deliberately changed to reverse the rule written in 1998, or is it an error that has escaped detection the last 3 years? If it was a deliberate change, then why is the sentence about not deliberately throwing out of play left in, as it take a contrary position to the prior sentence.
