I disagree with the "classic appeal"
throwing back to a base on a runner who has left early on a caught fly ball .
Had a tournament today ( 5 plates in 30 degree heat )
Each game had that happen and we didnt call it out
not once was another question asked and after the game I explained the rule and the answer was .
"we thought it was a force and the out is automatic "
To me , in my humble opinion , just throwing back to a base is not an appeal, I have got to know what the appeal is for .
Its like asking , blue the runner missed the base , sfter running 3 bases .Do we call them out .
No we ask which base .
I have got to know that the player knows that it is an appeal. not an automatic out .
