Just a quick question. Is the baseline 3 feet on either side of a straight line that runs to the base infront of you? Or is it 3 feet on either side of the line where the runners lead is established.
Example: You get your lead on 3rd base in foul territory. Then the ball is hit down the 3rd baseline to the 3rd baseman whos deep in the corner. As you the runner are running home you run outside of the catcher who is on the baseline. But you are still on your original foul territory lead line. Are you in violation of a rule or is it legal?
