Spots, you might have some fun examining variations on the situation you posed. For example, what if R1 had been between 1B and 2B at the time of the throw, but when it went out of play, he had touched 2B and was on his way to 3B? What if he had then gone on to touch 3B? What if he had started back toward 2B on his retreat to 1B? What if he had rounded 2B at the time of the throw and was retreating when it went out of play? What if he had simply proceeded to 3B? What if he went back to touch 1B though he was not legally allowed to do so? What if the play had not been obvious, and R1 had left too soon but nobody seemed to notice, then he rounded 2B and slid safely into 3B as the throw got past F5 and went out of play?
WOW! This sounds like an extra credit homework
assignment. Maybe I'll work on it while the Sox take on
Oakland again this evening.
