Sadly Carl, even though I own a 2005 BRD, I still went to the JEA and the J/R to pull the quotes.
Little did I realize that the relevant quotes would be right there in the BRD.
Silly me...

Tag Play. GB fielded and thrown to F3. F3's foot on the bag. Ball caught. F3 immediately plowed into by B-R. Ball comes out and hits the dirt.
Evans, in his Annotated 1993,contended that B-R was still out. Roder, 2005, says that B-R will be Safe. This play is assuming no Interference or Obstruction, so please don't bring that into the equation.
I would think that both of these sources are considered Authoritative. Jimmy, because of his past affiliation with MLB and his current status as the Boss of his Academy. Roder because of his widespread reference to the MLB Umpire Manual and a former Brinkman Instructor and Minor League Umpire.
Although I am a Jimmy disciple, I agree with Roder's take on this play.
If I have to post specifics of their opinions word for word, I will. I just don't feel like it right now.

Fitzpatrick of PBUC agrees with Evans - and me. Tag of a base is NOT the same as tag of a runner.
This is one of the times when the NHFS is out in front. (2-24-2)
See BRD section 483 for the full story.

At any rate it seems that I am wiser than he is to this small extent, that I do not think that I know what I do not know. ~Socrates
