Hey ... "Not gaining an advantage" people...

If she's not gaining an advantage by doing it, why doesn't she simply stop?

Because thats the way she pitches 'more gooder'.

BTW, NC#, the tie does go to the runner.

So... what you're saying is that it's a myth that the tie goes to the runner is a myth.

Which I happen to agree with. The book states

If the ball and the runner get there at the same time, a tie, then fielder did not contact the base before the runner, the runner is safe, the myth list not withstanding.

No such damn thing as a tie! If you thought it was a tie, you weren't looking close enough.

There is no such thing as two independent events occurring at the same precise moment... there is no tie.

PS - you can find exactly the reverse wording elsewhere in the book... even the book assumes there is no such thing as a tie.

Within the limits of human perception, yes there are. And since we're talking about a human's perception (although quite a few coaches might argue with that), ties will happen. And I would argue that you cannot prove that two independant events did NOT occur at the exact same time.

The closest I could find was in the rule supplement (1.L in the book I have open) dealing with the appeal when the runner passed first base "before the throw arrives" without touching. I can accept that the offense loses the benefit of winning the tie if they fail to touch the base.
