Prior to the publication of the MLB Umpires Manual in, I think, 2002, the only "known" ruling on this issue was Jim Evans' ruling in his Baseball Rules Annotated, which actually was the same as the FED ruling - runner receiving base on balls cannot overrun 1B with immunity. The MLB Umpire Manual, however, contains a statement that endorses the overrun. NCAA allows the overrun, so now FED is the only major rules code that is "out of sorts" with the majority.
