This thread made me recall a game about 2 -3 years ago. R1,R2, HS playoffs (in canada) Ball is hit to 5, R2 starts to run, % turns towards him, R2 back pedals toward second, 5 follows him rather than stepping on the bag, R2 stops moving as 5 decides throws to 1st then heads to third. Everyone is safe. A fan goes Ape Sh=T, he's right at the fence screaming, He can't run backwards He's OUT!, He's OUT you can't run backwards only Forwards. Now I 'm talking Screaming Redfaced pointing absolutly nuts. So much so the entire game stops and looks at him, everyone wondering what the heck he is talking about. This goes on for 15-30 sec. finally the First baseman, steps forward and screams back "DAD, Shut the Hell Up You have no clue and are Embarrassing us all" Dad shut up. It was funny as hell.
