Greymule and tkaufman,
The rules are slightly different now, and the letter sequencing of 7.09(?) has been affected. My OBR rulebook, published in 2003, has several paragraphs shifted one letter as compared to the rules as available on MLB.com today.
Old 7.09(f) reads "Any batter or runner.....". In the newer version of the rules, that is rule7.09(e). And the same offset applies to (f) and (g). So at least part of the contention is trivially explained.
MLB.com now has the rules in PDF format, and they are convenient to use and search. Greymule, I recommend that you use these rules rather than older books.
