Man is on 1st no out there is a ground ball hit to the 1st baseman and the runner on 1st does not move. the 1st baseman tags the base and then tags the runner. Is this a double play? and if it it is or isn't where in the rule book is thie rule. thanks Joe

Welcome, joelevmas,
Once the Batter/Runner is out, the force on R1 has been removed.

The first baseman did it rear-end-to. :)

ROFL!! Curious situation. I'd have never thought to stay on the bag in a situation like this. It does sound like an umpire's nightmare having to rule the runner is safe and then begin the explanations to dumbfounded players and coaches.

A first baseman who has been properly coached will tag the runner, then the base.

A runner will also run.
