The PBUC ruling Warren quoted has been trumped (at least for major league baseball) by this approved ruling in the MLB Umpire Manual:
Section 5.4 APPEAL PLAYS: APPROVED RULINGS

(11) May a runner who has missed a base return to retouch the missed base after having entered the dugout?
Answer: No.

Dave, I have noted several references to the subject MLB Umpire Manual on a number of boards lately. Has the document been broadly published, ie outside MLB, or do you have access through some 3rd party source?
There is no doubt that the manual is an extremely valuable resource, based on the few citations that I've seen. Given the now outdated status of JEA, and the apparently non-approved nature of the new J/R, I suspect there are many officials who like me would want to have first-hand access to the approved MLB document. Is there a source we can address?
