Appeal HR

[MT73]

Bases loaded

2 out

Batter hits HR but misses 2nd base.

Defense successfully appeals.

How many score?

[noumpere]

3

[Double Up]

is the answer the same if the BR fails to touch 1B?     What if it was 3b or Homplate?  

[Richvee]

1b no runs score....No runs can score when the third out is made and the batter has not legally reached 1B.

3 runs on all others

By "all others," I'm confident Rich means "BR misses any base other than 1B."

If "others" refers to other runners, we can have fewer than 3 runs scoring. For instance, R3 misses HP and is successfully appealed after playing action = no runs score.

The answers also assume that it was an out-of-the park, 4-base award, type of home run.

 

If it was in-the-park and the ball was still live and the defense managed to appeal a missed base before all the runs scored, only the runs that scored before the appeal was made would count. (and if the appeal was at first, no runs would count)

It would be a really odd inside-the-park play (and from a scoring perspective could almost never be a "home run") if the defense is making appeal plays while the play is still live, and the b/r (let alone other the other runners) is still making his way around the bases.

Beyond that, whether the ball be dead or alive, you would also, I think, have potential scenarios where the third out by a preceding runner on appeal would negate runs made by following runners.
