I wish it was incorrect, since I think the "last time by" rule makes sense. But I posed the question a couple of years ago, and you [Irish] answered it this way. (Maybe the thread is retrievable.) Months later, I checked with Bob Mauger, and he also said there's no "last time by." Also no distinction in ASA between "miss" and "gross miss." (This would follow if there's no "last time by," which would apply to a regular miss but not a gross miss.)

Believe it or not, I vaguely remember this even though I hate the personification of plays. I went back looking for something I thought was there and it was not.
The runner is still out, but not for missing 2B. My error was a presumption and obviously, it was wrong.
Going back to 2B, the runner can simply state that he knew he missed the base and that is why he is on 2B. Problem is, being on 2B at this point means he hasn't yet returned to 1B on the caught fly ball.
The runner would be out on that appeal, not for missing 2B.
