Can BR who hits a HR return to touch Home Plate

[mcrowder]

Antonella - if this was done INTENTIONALLY, to make a travesty of the game, we could, indeed take action.

But the simple missing of home plate, a trot toward the dugout where she's told she missed the plate, and a return to home is not a travesty, and is well within the rules.

I still fail to see what's unfair here. Defense allowed the homer after all, and the rules are clear that no appeal can be made until the runner has been given ample opportunity to fulfill her baserunning responsibilities.
