Passing lead runner

too much time on my hands - proven by the fact this has alt. text

R1 is red, BR is yellow.

BR is farther from 2B than R1. But, he is farther along the baseline from a perpendicular standpoint.

OBR 7.08 A runner is out when - (h) He passes a preceding runner before such runner is out;

Fed language is similarly vague in this regard, with an exception for an obstructed preceeding runner.

Can anyone provide a definition for "pass"? Its obviously nitpicky, but hey, its the end of the summer.

My guess would be a pass for the diagram above.

When I say the BR passed R1, that is when the pass took place! It's completely relative, my dear Watson.
