Thanks for posting this commonsense. Okay this still comes off as of confusion to me, because it says if a steal is attemped fake tag at second the runner is awarded second base on obstruction call.

Okay scenerio from last night, runners at 1st and 3rd. Runner at first attempts steal, SS covers 2nd, catcher fakes throw and SS fakes the tag. Runner was safe at second already. So the umpire awarded 3rd to stealing runner and runner at third was awarded home. In the ruling is only says runner is awarded second base in the given scenerio. Maybe I'm misunderstanding and second base is meaning as in another base. If that's the case I think it needs to be reworded to runner is awarded to advance to the next base.

I am so in agreement with you BB. I guess it's all in the wording...like the definition of "is"...LOL!!!
