You're by no means the only poster who repeats this canard. But the fact is that OBR has only one occurrence of the letter sequence "path", and it is not in conjunction with the word "base".

On the other hand, "baseline" is used frequently, and not always as a synonym for "foul line". Specifically the definition of the infield fly, and rule 7.08(a) use "baseline" while referring to the spaces between 1B-2B and 2B-3B.

Anyway, what's wrong with the word "baseline"?
