Do we have an English/grammer teacher in the house.
Quote:
The general understanding of whether an appeal out may also be a force out comes from OBR 7.12, which says in part:
"If, upon appeal, the preceding runner is the third out, no runners following the runner called out shall score. If such a third out is the result of a force play, neither preceding nor following runners shall score."
That says that appeal outs can also be force outs if the conditions that gave rise to the appeal occurred when a force play was in effect.

Does OBR 7.12 really say that?
"If, upon appeal, ..." speaks to appeal plays being a third out. "If such a third out is the result of a force play..." speaks to
third outs NOT appeal plays.
As I carfully read 7.12, it seem to me that it does not give permission to call and appeal play a force out even though a preceeding player has been put out first.
