In response to "From what I found so far, you guys would appear to be... wrong!" by Guigue

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.

which includes tagging the base. c.f. every play at home ever.

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
