Who's out on steal home??

Glad to see I made the right call.

Here's a twist to the situation: Bases loaded, 1 out. All runners stealing on the pitch, wild pitch that goes to the backstop, R3 scores easily, R2 attempts to steal home and the BI is called as R2 is attempting to score. What do you have? R3 scores, R2 out and R1 back @ first?? R2 out and R3 and R1 back at their TOP bases??

Unless someone can find something specific, I'd put the runners at the TOI base.

That's the way that I would see it also. The BI is mainly protecting the catcher on an immediate play. Once the first runner has scored, then it simply becomes interference.

By the way, I love the video Rich - especially the guy who hollers out "learn the rules"

That was a very strange play.

David,

Using your logic here would the original play that I had last night be BI or straight interference because R3 wasn't stealing on the pitch but rather the passed ball??? Either way R3 would have been out but may have a difference on the placement of the other runner. (Changes from TOP to TOI)

I think the passed ball is an intervening event, so any remaining runners would return to their TOI bases.
