I can give another realistic scenario - one I saw.
3rd strike gets away, BR takes off, and immediately slows upon seeing F2 pick up the ball after BR had gone only 2-3 steps. F2 lobs to F3. F3 is Joe Showman, Mr. Cool. Catches the lobbed ball in his hat.
Dead ball! You! First base!
Surprised we had no ejection there. I think coach, after a token complaint, realized that the culprit was his D-head first baseman.
