An attempt to draw attention from the "85% missed this one" thread
 

FED rules.

R1 (yes, he is on 1st). F1 initiates a legal jump-turn and throws to F3 in an attempt to pick-off R1, who dives back to the base. The ball enters F3's shirt and becomes lodged.

Place the runner.

R1 becomes R2.

R1 to 2B.

And if the ball enters R1's shirt? Place the runner.

That would make sense, but the rule (8.3.3.d) only addresses a pitch or throw from the rubber that becomes lodged in the CATCHER'S equipment. However, the case book (which I consulted immediately after clicking the "Submit" button) makes it clear that it is a one-base award.

In the words of Emily Litella, "Never mind."

He stays at 1st.

What if the ball entered the shirt of the GLM in the first row of the bleachers?

dead ball, and the ball must be manually removed by UIC
runners may have to do a 'turn and adjust'

ummmm... whats a GLM? and do I want one?

Good Lookin Mom and it depends on your sexual preferences ;)

not that there's anything wrong with that.

Spot on so far, but you forgot to place the runners. :D

I don't know about the runners, but it appears the UIC will be getting at least second base.

Heh heh heh.

GLM is the abbreviation for the G-rated term.

In the dugout! He's out! At least that's what we were told in our association meeting last year! Let me know if anyone else knows otherwise!

A THROWN ball enters the runner's shirt, and you're calling him out? Wow. Or maybe you're thinking it's a batted ball? I really hope so... or else, get a rule book, cup.

I kid you not! This question came up last year. No one had ever seen the play and the head of our association said it! No rule quoted, but he said he was out!

njdevs00cup,

The head of your association needs to get his hands on something called a "Rules Book" - and look at 8-3-3f. (FED)

For OBR-based games, I would suggest you share the following with him:

Thank you for clarifying this! The head of our association is a very knowledgable umpire, so I may have missed a detail in their somewhere. Glad the situation didn't happen this year, I would have looked like an a**!

One thing about the rule book, it will list every way a batter or runner can be put out. If the out you are thinking about isn't listed in there, it's not an out.
