Running Past First

Yes, he is

Oh yea, no doubt about that one. It's called putting one's self in Jeopardy.

Had this play the other day - kid walks, runs down to first and beyond. Turns toward the stands and immediately starts back to the bag. Catcher throws to first instead of Pitcher and 1B tags him after he goes past first. Is the runner out? Fed rules.

YES (But under NFHS Rules only......)

Just curious, what is the fed rule for that? When I played (every year since i was 6) I was always taught to run through the bag and you were fine as long as you stayed in foul territory

The Fed Rule is 8-2 Art. 7...A batter-runner who reaches first base safely and then overruns or overslide may immediately return without liability of being put out provided he does not attempt or feint an advance to second. A player who is awarded first base on a base on balls does not have this right.
