Well, at the time it seemed to me that running straight to 3B from 1B was different from missing 2B. However, the play occurred in 1961, so it's too late for a protest.

Eric Schweiker was the kid's name. To my knowledge, he didn't make the pros.

So when does missing a base by 8 body lengths come into play? Where are two plays different because the runner missed a base by 20 feet rather than 3 inches?
