Umpiring LL, I blew this call in 1961. Kid got a long hit, ran to 1B and then directly to 3B (out of sheer incompetence, not any kind of nefarious scheme). I knew about appeals but assumed that running directly across the mound to 3B had to be prohibited by some rule.

But I was 12 years old then. Haven't missed one since.
