In situation 19, what if the runner had not been tagged while standing on 3B, but instead an infielder in possession of the live ball had kicked some dirt off 2B before throwing the ball to the pitcher? Does PeteBooth's example of the play at 1B apply at other bases, too?

PeteBooth, I've read the example you gave at 1B, but I can't find it. Where is it?

The example at first is 8.2.3 -- and, yes, it applies to other bases.

In TexRef's play ("accidental appeal" on winning runs) -- the answer is "IF you would have declared the runner out last year at the end of playing action, then call him out on the appeal this year."

SHould they get rid of the accidental appeal? IMHO, yes. But it's not a new issue this year -- it's been in the books for (at least) several years -- if you havne;t had a problem with it before, why would you think yo'd have a problem with it now?
