The action of stepping on the base INTENTIONALLY is enough to constitute an appeal. Out is called.

No, it's not enough. PU must know that stepping on the base is being done as an appeal. Otherwise, you will/may have accidental appeals - where the fielder does not know that he/she is making an appeal.

Nice.

Steve is right, bawls. Your dismissal is off base and could be called out on proper appeal.

Is an opionion another variety of those sweet onions?

Anyway, it's very cut and dried. If just stepping on a base is enough, why not go back to that old NFHS rule and just call them out for missing the base. That was a nightmare for those who were around. Anyway, they need to say something, even if it's "Hey Blue..."

It's the intent that makes it an appeal.
