Message-ID: <1642@utcsrgv.UUCP> Date: Wed, 29-Jun-83 13:30:52 EDT Article-I.D.: utcsrgv.1642 Posted: Wed Jun 29 13:30:52 1983 Date-Received: Wed, 29-Jun-83 17:45:12 EDT Organization: CSRG, University of Toronto Lines: 13 What happens in the following situation: Player A is on first, and player B, a speedster, is batting. B hits a very high fly ball to right field and starts running. Since the ball might be caught, A holds up. By the time the right fielder has just missed catching the ball and it goes into the corner, B has caught up with A at first base. Does B have to stop and let A go ahead to second? I assume both players can't stop on one base. But what if B could make it to the next base and A can't? Dave Sherman Toronto
