I ain't letting it go

With that single point accepted, that a BR must reach first base or run risk of being put out, it brings sense to all the other factors with loose ends.

No one disagrees (I don't think). IF the BR is required to touch first, even after the third out is made, and the BR doesn't touch first, then the run doesn't count.

Where we disagree is in that assumption. I don't think the BR is required to touch first. IF that assumption is true, I think you'd agree that the BR can't be out, and the run counts, right?

Someone in this group (I forget who) mentioned he was trying to get a ruling from NFHS on this. Since we agree it's (a) an unlikely call and (b) we probably wouldn't call it anyway, absent an explicit FED ruling, and since (c) we've beaten this horse way past death, can't we just give it a rest?

Rex -- please,. please close this thread.
