I noticed a change of wording in the ASA book regarding the ruling after a proper appeal of BOO (before the next pitch, etc.).
It's 7-2-D-2-b in both 2005 and 2006: This wording first appeared in 1999, and ran through 2005: "Any advance or score made as a result of the improper batter becoming a batter-runner shall be nullified. Any out that is made prior to discovering this infraction, remains an out." 2006: "Any advance of runners and any run scored shall be nullified. All outs made stand." Incidentally, in 1998, this was the wording: "Any advance or score made because of a ball batted by the improper batter or because of the improper batter's advance to 1B as the result of obstruction, a hit batter, a walk, dropped third strike or base hit shall be nullified." Apparently in 1998 outs made on the play didn't stand. (I was umping then, but I can't remember.) My question is, Does the 2006 wording reflect a change of rule? For example, do we now nullify all advances made during the at bat of the improper batter, say, on a stolen base?
