Appeal play?

[dash_riprock]

I think there are a few states that still do not permit any appeals.

What? Really? I've heard of disallowing protests, but not appeals!

Some did not adopt the "recent" FED change to appeals -- they still have the "old" rule of the umpire declaring a runner out when the umpire sees a baserunning infraction.

One of those states is in the south east -- either one of the Carolinas or Georgia, but I forget which.

When I played school ball in the 1960s, appeals had to be made with a live ball, as in OBR. (This was in Connecticut. I don't know what code we played under. I think we all assumed it was just "baseball rules.") I remember screwing up an appeal of a runner who had obviously missed 2B. I got the ball on the mound, but as play began ignorantly stepped off and asked for time out, so the ump granted time but of course made no call on the appeal.
