Out on a home run?

[Ed Maeder]

The person that hit the home run is out for passing the runner from first. Third out no runs score. With less then two outs the person that hit the home run is out for passing the runner from first and I'm waiting for an appeal that the runner from first didn't touch home. In both situations no runs score, if the appeal is made with less than two outs. No appeal made one run in second situation. As an umpire you would call the runner out right away for passing another runner. Here we don't run out of the park home runs out so this would be a moot point and all runs would score and no outs would be recorded.
