Where are you told to do that? Your answer will most likely be the rule being discussed and my argument is that you can TWP that rule in too many directions. IMO, a runner between 3rd and home is not affected by an OBS between 1st & 2nd.

Now, can anyone point out where is states that on a dead ball, all runners must return to the last bases that did not involve a violation by the offense?
