Rich,
Whether an "unmistakeable appeal" or not, I believe it is most certainly an out. I offer the following from J/R in support:
J/R, Chapter 9 - Appeals; Subsection C: Missed Base Appeals:
Quote:
2. A missed base appeal of first (overrun) or home occurs when [7.08k]
a. action is relaxed and the alledgedly missed base or the suspect runner is tagged [7.10d], or
b. action is unrelaxed and the suspect runner is tagged off base.

So, as I said before, if the BR who missed 1B is tagged while off his base, he is out. Got anything that says different?
