Home Run Question

[ddb]

Sorry to have insulted you CB with a silly question. I did not know a play such as this had just occurred in a MLB game, I guess it is just bad timing on my part. I agree that "slightly passed" is goofy but that was how it was described to me and I agree it is like being sort of pregnant.

I know the right call that should have made the instant the batter/runner "slightly passed" R1...The batter/runner would have been called out and R1 would have scored but my fan friend did not think my call was right.

So, you are probably right about the question being a silly one but I just wanted to hear some other opinions about the "slightly passed" R1. The person who told me this said the batter/runner and R1 were about shoulder to shoulder and I told him the batter/runner is still out.
