Tetris:
Many people think that because the runner does not have to be tagged, this appeal play is a force out. (They think wrongly that "force play" and "play where the runner doesn't have to be tagged" are one and the same.) Somebody tries to make that case with me at least once a year.
Remember, however, that if the runner left 3B too soon and it wasn't obvious to everyone, then the fielder could not gain an out simply by walking across 3B in possession of the ball. The defense would still have to make it clear that they were making an appeal.
