BRD - very first item.
FED - "During a live ball appeal the defense must make a verbal appeal unless 'a play by its very nature is imminent and obvious to the offense.' EXCEPT If the action is continuing and the tagged base is a 'force' base, the defense makes the appeal merely by stepping on the missed base."
The attached play says for the first base play, casually touching the base is an appeal in FED but in NCAA and OBR it must be unmistakable.

Rich, That's what I have been saying in my post. I was speaking of FED... I think that my post was clear about that.
As I understood it the original situation posted here was talking about the runner missing 1B when he over-ran it and how the appeal should be handled. I pointed out that if the runner were tagged or the base touched before he returned he would be out, without a verbal appeal. I was trying to explain that in some cases what is consider an appeal in FED is different than OBR (and also NCAA).
