Seems odd the FED would make such a distinction. If they do I wonder what is the purpose? I'm thinking get the out either way if the appeal was proper - bag or runner.
FED appeals are pretty lax...
8-2-5 Penalty (Art 1 - 5) "A live ball appeal may be made by a coach or any defensive player with the ball in his possession by tagging the runner or touching the base that was missed or left too early".
We can get it from a verbal appeal shouted from the dugout...we can get it if they tag the base.
Does that help muddy the winner of the bet?

Chris,
That's not what MY rule book says.
Where did you get yours?
