Can a runner be call out for running out of baseline not avoiding a tag?
The runner can run 3 feet on either side of the base line. The base line is defined as a straight line from the runner to the base at the time the tag is attempted.7.08Any runner is out when --(a) (1) He runs more than three feet away from his baseline to avoid being tagged unless his action is to avoid interference with a fielder fielding a batted ball. A runner's baseline is established when the tag attempt occurs and is a straight line from the runner to the base he is attempting to reach safely
If the a line drive strikes the pitchers rubber and the catcher catches it is he out?
No he is not out. Hitting the rubber is like hitting the ground. He would have to throw out the batter, runner at first base.

After an infield single and a wild throw can the runner be tagged out for attempting to go to second without crossing the first base line?
No. If the runner doesn't cross the first base/right field line they cannot be considered attempting to go to second base.
Can a second baseman go in the base line of second when runner is coming from first?
if he interferes with the runner that would be called obstruction
What is the difference between a base path and a base line?
A base path is the path determined by the runner as he is travelling between bases, and the base line is the the direct lines between the two bases.
Is it possible to get 4 outs in one inning?
YES! A very weird situation has to happen though. With runners on 2nd and 3rd and 1 out, a line drive is caught by the 2nd baseman. The runner on 3rd runs on contact (without tagging). The runner on 2nd can't get back to the base. Instead of just tagging 2nd base for the 3rd out, the 2nd baseman runs after the runner and tags him AFTER the runner on 3rd touches home. When the 2nd baseman went after the runner, it became a "pickle" situation. The other runner's run counts (if it was scored before the tag) unless the defense appeals to 3rd where the runner left early and therefore would be the 4th out. Confusing, but true. 1st out- before the situation 2nd out- Caught line drive 3rd out- tag of runner 4th out- appeal to 3rd where runner left early.
Why are there 2 first base lines?
Well, there aren't really. The line to the left is the first base line and the line to the right is the 'out of bounds' line. These two lines form the 'restraining box' and when a runner runs to first base they are supposed to stay within this box. If the runner runs outside of the restraining box they can be ruled out for interference should a thrown ball hit them.
Intentionally dropped line drive with runners on base. What is the ruling?
In Major League Baseball, this is covered under rule 6.05(l).1. With a runner on first base (whether there is an additional runner or runners on any other base does not matter), or with first base open but runners on both second and third, and less than 2 out, the batter is out and the ball is dead. All runners return to their previously occupied bases.2. With 2 out, or a single runner on only second or third base, the play remains alive.
If a courtesy runner is on base when their turn at bat comes is she out?
A courtesy runner should never be on base if she has a spot in the line-up. A courtesy runner is supposed to be a girl who is not playing in the game at all. If you are playing with a continuous line-up, then the courtesy runner should be the girl who made the last out, or the least likely girl to get up in the same inning. This makes it so their situation will not happen.
There are runners on first and second and a line drive is hit to the left fielder who makes the throw to third to get the force out Does the batter get awarded a base hit or is it a fielder's choice?
A batter is never awarded a base hit when a runner is forced out, regardless of where the ball is hit.
If the same fielder makes all three outs in a single inning is that a record?
The answer is that it is not a record. In a recent Phillies game Eric Bruntlett caught a line drive, stepped on second base to catch the runner off base, then tagged the runner coming from first base. He made all three outs by himself. This rare play has been done several times in baseball.
