Dave, be carefull with your wording here. It does matter where your standing and where your going as far as the runner is concerned. If the runner is on first and comes off of the base such as on a fly ball to the outfield, sees that it is a catch and starts back to first as he or she is not going to attempt a tag up when the outfield oncorks a wild throw into the stands....just because the runner was "headed or going to" first base this "not" mean the runer only gets second. Agreed ?

Dave's wording seemed just fine to me. As he said, it is the position of the runner that determines to what base that runner will be awarded should the thrown ball leave play or become blocked.
