Double Base

[MD Longhorn]

Interesting way of looking at it, Irish. It's never been questioned at all.

I think the intent of reversing things on a ball that goes into foul ground is for safety (it's called the safety bag for a reason, right?) If I'm catching a ball that's coming to me from the foul side of the bag, isn't it generally safer for me to use the orange, and BR the white - otherwise, if it's close, one of us is going to break an ankle.

Also, it may be that the "THROW" didn't come from foul ground, but the "Play" definitely did. Seems like your splitting hairs here in a way that defies the intent of the rule, if not the letter.

Don't have a book here - anyone have the direct quote from the book?
