Think about this. How many times have we seen one runner haul *** around 1B on a ball down the LF line, but R1 doesn't move because s/he can see it is obviously going foul. Everyone knows it's going to be foul, even the softball mom in the concession stand. BUT, because the batter just passed R1, you are going to call the runner out for just doing what s/he is supposed to do since the ball was still in flight at the time of the passing?
I'm not.
