Meanwhile, F9 fires the ball in and guns out BR going for a double. BR is out #2. Now that BR is out of the picture, there is no preceding runner holding R1 back. How can R1 logically be prevented from returning all the way to 1st base? That isn't to say it would be rational for R1 to go back to 1st base. Rather, the argument is used to justifying the rule. The only way to keep her back from 1st is to have a runner "force" her from it. That doesn't exist here.
That's one example. I have a few more after my conversation tonight.
I might be able to add to that number if the double jacks are-a-flow'n when we meet up tomorrow night for a state meeting.
Stay tuned.
