Is a gross miss correctable?

[greymule]

Not so. He says the same thing in his basic book page 54 Chapter 9-B-A-1 He says a baserunner is vunerable to appeal if he doesn't get within a body length the final time by. This is complete hooey as the "final" time can be the only time.

You can't say he's safe because he was "close enough".

I still think there's a misunderstanding. Rich, how would you call this play?

Abel on 1B, no outs. Baker lines to right center. Abel rounds 2B and is on his way to 3B when F9 catches the ball. Abel then retraces his steps but misses 2B by a step on his way back. As he slides back into 1B, the throw shoots through to DBT. Abel then takes his award by touching 2B and 3B.

Would you uphold an appeal of Abel's miss of 2B while returning (even though he touched 2B last time by)?
