Maybe I'm misreading the change. Unfortunately, my committee assignments kept me away from those in which many of these changes were discussed.
This adds the bold wording: "If properly appealed
by any defensive player during a live ball, the runner is out."
Since a proper live ball appeal will always include a defensive player, I'm reading this as adding the word "any" for some reason.
Maybe Steve or Darrell had the opportunity to sit in on a meeting where this was explained.
