Every now & then I get sucked into one of those slow pitch beer league games. It's always amazing how much I learn at them - see the players know all the rules inside & out while I don't have a clue.

As far as your "CRASH" rule goes - when you call a player out, it's actually for interference. So you have a deadball and all other runners return to the last base they had. In your example, Greymule, R1 is out (ejected if you think it was flagrant) and B1 is on 2B (assuming he had 2nd before the flea, I mean R1, hit F2). If your opinion is that R1 knew he was gonna be dead at home and crashed deliberately trying to prevent a double play, then you also get B1 out.
