Passing runner

The foul ball is not a question. Whoever passed whomever while the ball was still in the air is not relevant. As with an infield fly that goes foul, everything is off. (I assume! Runner passes another runner while an infield fly is in the air—out—then it goes foul . . . )

But with a home run, everything is still on. As I said, if one of the ASA bigwigs hadn't told me that, I wouldn't have asked.

Sorry, but "everything" is not still on. There are no base running appeals allowed on a HR or 4base award at the A level and above by rule. There is no interpretation differences there.

As far as passing a runner in this circumstance at this level, if you call it (though I still believe it cannot happen), I believe you will have a nice conversation with the UIC.
