IOW, the R can not "enters a team area OR leaves the field of play" without leaving (abandons) the base.

We all know the national education body is weak on writing/editing.

Wish I could agree, but the case play doesn't have the runner doing either of the "enters a team area OR leaves the field of play", but says can be declared out.

We should also love that it says, "can be called out" - not should be or IS. But can be... sounds like it's vaguely optional for the umpire, yes? rolleyes:
