Firstbaseman in foul territory

[dino14]

Can someone shed some light on this rule. 1st basemen holding a runner on with one foot in foul territory and the other in fair. I know the catcher is the only one that is allowed in foul territory. Thanks for the input!!

This may be asking too much from yall, but can you give me the case number in OBR on this rule. I can not find it anywhere.

[bobbybanaduck]

it is asking too much. obr doesn't have case numbers.

Read rule 4.03 here. http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/downloads/y20...nding_game.pdf

Good luck!

One foot in fair is specifically legal in FED. It's OBR that "requires" two (depending on which "expert" you read), but even then, it's only enforced if someone complains.

NOT correct for FED

FED rule 1-1-4 A fielder is in Fair ground when at least ONE foot is touching Fair Ground.
