Occupying the same base

That's pretty much not the right move, wouldn't you think? You're guaranteeing an out if everyone stays there. If you're the one there improperly and know it, you should leave.

And considering it's USUALLY the younger ones where this happens, I'd feel pretty safe assuming that they (and coach) didn't know which was proper. I don't blame them for trying to go SOMEwhere.

But if we call an out when it happens, as we should, we likely avoid the extra out. Thus... if we DON'T, we've put someone at jeopardy.
