Grand Slam Batter is Out

[Guest Frank]

Batter hits grand slam but doesn't touch first base. Defensive team appeals and batter is called out.

How is this recorded in the book?

I'd just use "BR - FU", but that' s probably not official.

 

Or, a 15-second search of the rule book reveals:

Rule 9.09(a )(2) Comment: The official scorer shall credit a
fielder with a putout if such fielder catches a thrown ball and
tags a base to record an out on an appeal play.

Without looking it up in the rulebook (rule 10.00 old numbering), I'd score it a HR, score 3 RBIs instead of 4, and credit the put-out to the player who made the successful appeal.

It would be 1-3 putout (I'm suspecting even under verbal appeal rules this is how it would be recorded)....a "one" in the At Bat column and a "zero" in the Hit column.  with three RBI's (assuming it's not third out)

Can't be a HR - you must touch all four bases and score to be credited with a HR

OBR rule 9.06(d) When the batter, after making a safe hit, is called out for having failed to touch a base, the last base the batter reached safely shall determine if the official scorer shall credit him with a one-base hit, a two-base hit or a three-base hit. If a batter-runner is called out after missing home plate, the official scorer shall credit him with a three-base hit. If a batter-runner is called out for missing third base, the official scorer shall credit him with a two-base hit. If a batter-runner is called out for missing second base, the official scorer shall credit him with a one-base hit. If a batter-runner is called out for missing first base, the official scorer shall charge him with a time at bat, but no hit.

Yep, you're right.
