Examle: The PBUC says you cannot overrun first base on a base on balls, without liability of being put out. They say, as does Jim Evans, that the runner is only protected up to the base. The rules don't say that. They make absolutely no distinction between a hit or a walk. The Knotty Problems book says you can overrun first on a base on balls. That used to be my source. I guess I can just throw that old piece of crap out now. So, my question is.....unless every umpire on the face of the earth has access to interpretations such as the PBUC, Evans' manual, J/R, BRD, etc., how are we to uniformly rule on situations such as these?
Answer: We're not.

Do you have a citation number from the PBUC Umpire Manual to support your assertion?
Thanks,

I could not find in PBUC either. Item 109 in BRD says batter can not overrun in FED but can in NCAA or OBR if he returns immediatelly.
