the tax man Situation-R1 at first-batter hits shot to right center wall-R1 going to 3rd-throw comes in to 3rd who boots catch but somehow ball gets caught in R1s shirt who is still on ground after slid-dead ball award bases-question-what OBR rule directly covers this situation-don't have rule books with me. thanks
bob jenkins AFAIK, no OBR rule covers this (but it might be "hidden" in MLBUM). I'd just give the runners the base they were going to -- if BR were attempting to advance to second, give him that and leave R1 at third on your play.
