I'll fall for it . . .
You clearly say "force play" so what would make your play ANY different than a player stepping on the base.
The obvious answer is on a "force" he would be out . . .
Now if you want to bring up a GREAT argument ask the following:
F3 has REAL LONG hair. with the ball firmly secured in his hand or glove he falls down JUST SHORT of the base. However his LONG hair clearly falls on to the base FAR before the batter runner arrives.
Safe? Out? You make the call.
