Take a look in rule 5, section 4 or 5. Find the section that deals with the "fourth out appeal".

As far as the dancing in circles, well... I've yet to find that one, but I'm sure it's in there. /sarcasm

But seriously, if I had my book with me, I'd give you the exact rule. Until then... It'll just have to wait until after my 3 games tonight. If anyone else cares to look up the one I mentioned, feel free.

I mentioned this. there IS a similar rule that applies specifically to 4th out appeals. Most of us here don't like it - but it's there. BUT!!!!! That only applies to 4th out appeals, not a simple appeal for a THIRD out on a forced runner. (The inequity here that a 3rd out at 2B in this situation can nullify a run but a 4th cannot is what many of us here DON'T like ... but it's there.)
