Actually Steve, mine did. In the play I suggested the step on first would be the appeal, not the tag, since you indicated that you would have signalled safe as he passed the bag. If you would have waited and not signalled, it would have been the proper call all along. The ball beat him to the base. There is a reason why they have to touch forst and not just run over it."


Actually Pete, signaling safe is the correct mechanic. ANY missed base has to be appealed, first is no exception.
