Examle: The PBUC says you cannot overrun first base on a base on balls, without liability of being put out. They say, as does Jim Evans, that the runner is only protected up to the base. The rules don't say that. They make absolutely no distinction between a hit or a walk. The Knotty Problems book says you can overrun first on a base on balls. That used to be my source. I guess I can just throw that old piece of crap out now. So, my question is.....unless every umpire on the face of the earth has access to interpretations such as the PBUC, Evans' manual, J/R, BRD, etc., how are we to uniformly rule on situations such as these?
Answer: We're not.

Do you have a citation number from the PBUC Umpire Manual to support your assertion?
Thanks,

It's not in the PBUC umpire's manual. It's in the MLBUM, 5.14 Note.
