My point is that there is nothing in ASA's rule book that states the runner must touch first, second third and home base IN THAT ORDER.
5.5.A only says a run will be scored each time a player touches all of those bases.
However, we all KNOW the right order and rule on appeals when a runner fails to touch the bases in that order.
So, if a batter puts the ball into play and circles the bases in what we know as the reverse order, are we going to automatically rule the player out?
