This brings up a good point that I meant to mention earlier. The general interp is that the runner hasn't passed the base until he's entirely (trailing foot) past the base.

Enjoy your season and be safe.

Only 30 years. That explains it. Either that or you missed seeing me miss first in a Legion game in 1961. (Made it back before the defense caught on too)
