Thanks for all the help.

Which rule can you cite that says bases must be touched legally to be considered in awarding bases? The rules I read say based on their location at the time of ....... (the throw, the pitch, etc.).

Dead ball appeal; request and receive "time (if the ball isn't already dead), and any infielder (including pitcher and catcher), with or without the ball, tells the nearest umpire that they wish to appeal, and what they are appealing. If it is the wrong umpire, it should be relayed to the proper umpire to rule. Ball is dead, no runners can advance, no ball needs to be thrown, taken anywhere, tag anyone ..... Wow, how simple.
