I gave an example from the PBUC, just to illustrate how two authorative opinions differed on the same play.

For overrunning first:

The MLBUM says in 5.13:

NOTE: The batter-runner is not prohibited from overrunning first base on a base on balls (i.e.,
the batter-runner may overrun first base on a base on balls and is not in jeopardy of being put out
provided he returns immediately to first base).

The current, published version of the PBUC does not discuss the situation. The prior version also did not discuss the situation.

If you are going to reference the PBUC you can order the real thing from Plus Pos $15.95 or Gerry Davis Sports for $16.90.

The title of the article I referenced was "PBUC Interpretations." I really thought it was actually from that organization. Thank you for pointing this out, again.
