				What if
			 
 
			
			Ball four, catcher mis-handles the ball and the batter takes off like a scalded jack rabbit thinking he might get two bases.  Near first base the coach has up the stop sign....catcher is quick like a cat...retreived the ball like a lab and is ready to gun him down if he tries anything funny.
 Does the runner have to stop on a dime at first base?
