Retouching 3rd after crossing home.

Once a runner crosses home, he can not go back to 3rd to retouch for either missing the base or leaving to early correct?

So what happens / what should be done if he does do this?  No one knows that he's not supposed to do this and now he ends up back on 3rd?  

We don't call him out because no one is making an appeal.  But he's not supposed to be there.  Do we say something or just let it go just like we'd let a miss base go?

He CAN do that (unless a following runner has scored). Has to retouch home on the way back.

... or be subject to appeal.

 

I know you (Rich) know that, just adding for any confused readers.

He can always do that. It's just that sometimes it doesn't correct his infraction, and he's still liable to be called out on appeal.

So if I understand what iis being said, a runner who crosses home CAN go back and retouch / tag up unless a following runner has also crossed the plate.  If that is the case he can't.  If he does do this it wouldn't count and he could still be called out on appeal?

Thanks

Right.  And, if the runner goes back when he can't (after a succeeding runner has crossed the plate), you just remove him from third.  If that doesn't clue in the defense to appeal, then they deserve to have the run scored.
