Missed 1B - double 1B appeal?

Still honor the appeal?

That is another scenario which has no bearing on my original response.

Safe, can't call a runner out for missing the base they are standing on.

By saying "safe", aren't you now making it legal for a batter-runner to run directly to the white base on every initial play at first? That seems a contradiction of the rule and counerproductive to the intent of the double first base.

I would have an out on this play.
