Back in the day, after a foul ball, R1 would stand a foot away from 2B and declare that this was his lead. When the ball was put back into play, he would "steal" 2b.

So they made the retouch after a foul ball rule. That's the intent of the rule. If your runner doesn't do what I described above, you're find.
