Once again: baseball rule question! Forced play at 2nd, defensive player falls, grabs the ball with his hand and tag 2nd base with his (empty) glove

Out or not?

Responses:

force play you can touch the base with a glove/hand. you can't tag a guy with an empty glove -- nm - dogbert Sep 17, 20:42 4
- I said the defensive player touches the base, not the player (obviously before the players gets to the base) -- nm - Guigue Sep 17, 20:45 3
  - I was talking about the fielder too. the runner is out on a force play no matter what part of the filder's body touches the base including an empty - dogbert Sep 17, 20:48 2
    - Then we agree - Guigue Sep 17, 20:49 1
      - right, the runner is out -- nm - dogbert Sep 17, 20:50
From what I found so far, you guys would appear to be... wrong! - Guigue Sep 17, 20:39 7
- You can step on the base for a force with the ball in your hand or your glove, but for a tag, it has to be the ball. - Reagen Sep 17, 20:42 6
  - That's not what I'm finding. There's no mention of the foot, it says "body" - Guigue Sep 17, 20:44 5
    - Inherent in that is that the glove must have the ball in it. -- nm - Reagen Sep 17, 20:46 3
      - Maybe I'm not clear enough. At that point, the defensive player has the ball firmly in his right hand, the glove on the base, and the runner is forced - Guigue Sep 17, 20:48 2
        
        No, you were perfectly clear. - Reagen Sep 17, 20:50 1
        
        So now I'm sure I was robbed tonight. Dammit! :) Now I'm all dirty for nothing - Guigue Sep 17, 20:51
    - (The word tag seems to refer to both touching a player and touching a base) -- nm - Guigue Sep 17, 20:44
not has to tag with hand holding ball. -- nm - the liioulu without chrome Sep 17, 20:35
NOT -- nm - Spawn Sep 17, 20:34
Not. -- nm - nubby Sep 17, 20:34
