Award after throw goes dead

Carl, I read the thread carefully and I still not understand it fully. Maybe because of my english. Anyway in this case, I would like to ask if appealing to first would not constitutes a second appeal on the same runner on the same base. The first one was the throw from the outfielder, so that would be somehow the philosophy for the bases asssignment?.

A better argument would be that the defense erred on the appeal, thus negating the second chance.

However, as the interp books tell us how to handle the play and don't take either into consideration, we have to play it the way they want it played.
