History Lesson Anyone ?

As above, time of throw for at least 20 years in NFHS, ASA, PONY, NCAA SOFTBALL.

However, TOP does apply to a pitch and, as WMB said, a batted ball.

I note you highlighted "softball." Does OLBR or other "Little Ball" rule books say time of pitch?

Well 2 of the guys were around when cranks were used to start your car.

Maybe I just had a Stephen King/ Twilight Zone week around TOP.

Appreciate your info WMB and others....

I do believe, however, NSA in FP and Mod still awards from the time of the pitch.

So, if R1 takes off from 1B on a line drive to the OF, rounds 2B when F8 throws the ball toward the IF, skips past F6 so R1 is nearly to 3B when it bounces of F1's shin, past F3 and into DBT as R1 scores, the rule puts the runner back to 3B? Okay, that's a good one.

I looked it up and it is a both and situatuation. On the first throw from the infield, the award is from the base occupied at TOP but on subsequent plays and throws from the OF it is TOT. If I insensed anyone's lack of sensibilities, I apologize.

R1 off with the pitch attempting to steal 2B. Ground ball to F6 who checks 2B, but runner is already there, then hurries throw to 1B only put it in the dirt. R1 headed to 3B on F6's throw the is in the dirt and caroms off of F3's shin and into DBT as R1 is rounding 3B.

And this is not a TWP. Still doesn't make sense to me, but then again, I don't have to deal with it.
