@Jimurray - where in the BRD are you seeing this? I would like to look it up.

P. 33 in my 2011 BRD edition. Off Interp 36-29. If JR still has that in their most current edition why would they say it's not a play if a catch is already not a play. Edited to change the catch to a catch. You can't have a dropped "catch".

Thanks. I don't see that reference in the current 2014 edition. I did see a PBUC Official Interpretation, 43-30, (on page 34) that states: "A play or attempted play...shall be interpreted as a legitimate effort be a defensive player who has possession of the ball to actually retire a runner. This may include an actual attempt to tag a runner, a fielder running toward a base with the ball in an attempt to force or tag a runner, or actually throwing to another defensive player in an attempt to retire a runner. A fake or a feint to throw shall not be deemed a play or an attempted play. (The fact that the runner is not out is not relevant) (6.1)
