Not so quick.
I remember that huge debate two or three ago that allowed the appeal on a runner that was put out for the third out after failing to touch his base in passing.
What brought it up was Mike Fitzpatrick PBUC's ruling that the appeal would be allowed. What caused the uproar in that play is that if you allow the appeal you are overuling OBR 7.10(d) which Mike Bremigan extended to all bases. That rule simply and clearly says that an appeal is not allowed, before or after the play is completed. You must remember that PBUC does not operate under OBR, they do their own thing.
The last I heard is that WUA (Rick Roder) claims that the umpires are split on the issue. They are also split on allowing a run to score after the third out since there is no rule against it. So much for the WUA. G
