If a base runner passes the runner ahead of him is he out or ...?

1.  The one who passes the second is out.\n2.  If it is a force out (they have to advance to the next base) then the person who stayed on base and didn't move is out.  If it is not a force out, then which ever one gets tagged first is the one who is out.

Give him a single, then however he got out at 2nd (for example if the 1stbaseman threw to the SS... it would be 3-6)

It's a strike.  He's only awarded 1st base if he's not attempting to hit it.  See rule 6.08(b)\n\n(b) He is touched by a pitched ball which he is not attempting to hit unless (1) The ball is in the strike zone when it touches the batter, or (2) The batter makes no attempt to avoid being touched by the ball; If the ball is in the strike zone when it touches the batter, it shall be called a strike, whether or not the batter tries to avoid the ball. If the ball is outside the strike zone when it touches the batter, it shall be called a ball if he makes no attempt to avoid being touched. APPROVED RULING: When the batter is touched by a pitched ball which does not entitle him to first base, the ball is dead and no runner may advance

Wierd rule, but as someone who scores games, I understand it.\n\nThe catcher gets credit for a putout on a strikeout. If the catcher doesn't actually catch the ball, there can't really be a putout. The catcher than has to throw the batter out at first base and the person covering first gets the putout. The catcher gets an assist.

u cant overtake the person in last place!!! the guy is last, you can't pass him... if he's last, and you're behind him, that means you're not in the race...\nnice one!

first base it a force out because the runner has no other choice but to go to 1st base. 3rd base is a force out if thee are runners on 1st and 2nd bases.

IMPORTANT FACT WITHHELD: Did the 1st baseman tag the runner before the runner touched first base?  If so,NO run. \nHowever, if the runner first touched first base, and the umpire believes that the runner intend to go to 2nd base, then, if the runner going from 3rd base touched home plate prior to the batter/runner being tagged, then the run counts,

The runner is out, with the putout going to the closest fielder, the batter is safe at first on a fielders choice.

A runner may tag up and advance after a foul fly ball is caught.[7.08(d)]

These answers are all so ignorant. In a perfect game, not a single person can get on base in any way whatsoever.  Walk, error, hit the catchers glove, whatever. The second anyone gets on base, the perfect game is over, even if he is whiped out by a double play.

No, if the pitcher balks with runners on base the runners all advance one base, thereby leaving 1st base unoccupied.  The batter isn't awaraded a ball and first base.  He only recieves a ball if the bases are empty.\n\n"A BALK is an illegal act by the pitcher with a runner or runners on base, entitling all runners to advance one base."\n\n"A BATTER is an offensive player who takes his position in the batter's box."\n\n"BATTER RUNNER is a term that identifies the offensive player who has just finished his time at bat until he is put out or until the play on which he became a runner ends."\n\n"A RUNNER is an offensive player who is advancing toward, or touching, or returning to any base."\n\n" An ILLEGAL PITCH is (1) a pitch delivered to the batter when the pitcher does not have his pivot foot in contact with the pitcher's plate; (2) a quick return pitch. An illegal pitch when runners are on base is a balk"

He should have the highest or close to it OBP on the team that is why he is leadoff. If he get on base to start the game then most likely he will score first to take the lead.  But it also depends on the lineup of the team.  Works well if the 2nd & 3rd batters do their job and advance him.  Almost the same as the "cleanup" batter.

Of course, but they would remain in the position of DH throughout the game. If they send their designated hitter into the field, however, then they would lose the DH and the pitcher would have to bat.

ha-ha. my guess is it would be ruled a ground rule double if hit to the wall before it was consumed by wilbur. if eaten on the infield, the batter would have to stop at 1st and all other runners advance 1 base. then the pig is taken into custody by stadium security and a new ball is given to the pitcher.

This has happened to me several times. The Umpire did not signal the batter out (unless he verbalized "batter is out") rather, he signaled the third strike, assuming he was using the hammer. I NEVER call a batter out on strke three, nor do most umpires. I will verbalize "batter is out" if he attempts a run to first on a D3K when he is not entitled to do so. \n\nYou had 2 outs, so the runner had the right to attempt first on the D3K, but once he entered the dugout, he was out. This would have been a "force out" for the third and no runs could score. If the runner ran TO the dugout, but not INTO the dugout, he could still attempt first.\n\n The "baseline" has no bearing on this play. The "basepath" would be the route the runner takes when he attempts first base. He can vary the path all he wants, unless he is avoiding a tag, then the 3' rule applies. He also can not take a step backwards (towards home) but ONLY if he is avoiding a tag. A runner going to any other base may run backwards to avoid a tag, (thats called a rundown).\n\nAlso, being "touched by another coach" has no bearing unless the coach physically aided him. A push would be considered aid. \n\nAs for a protest, did you protest or argue? A protest would have been a mis-application of a playing rule by an umpire. If the runner had entered the dugout, and the umpire tells you he can the go to first, that would be a protestable situation if your league allows protests. Some do not. Anything else would have been arguing, and you would be a candidate for ejection! If the runner was sent after entering the dugout, and protests are not allowed in your league, I would probably have argued too!

The official rule (don't know number) is that a pinch runner can be placed in your spot to finish running and stay in game. If there is a runner or runners on base and one of them gets hurt, a pinch runner can replace them but any runner after them cannot pass them on the base path, if this happens the base runner that was passed is out and that runners run does not count, the real bummer is if the past runner is the third out and even the hitter that hit the home run gets screwed because his home run does not count, only the runs that crossed before the third out,

No, once the ball has left the park it's a home run which is automaticly advanced to every base.  If he misses the umpire will most likley tell him to go and run the bases again.
