In response to "If the AB is over...how is the guy running to first base? That's like suggesting that as soon as the ball is hit, the AB is over." by Jim

because he isn't out and the ball is still live.

The AB however, is over.

To your other point, you can make the argument that the AB ends when the ball is hit, as the batter then becomes the runner. However you have to include the outcome of any play on the hit (as opposed to live ball play, such as reaching on a third strike) as part of the record of the AB.
