The common misconception of this play is that the runner must overrun first base turning to the right into foul territory, which is not the rule. The rule essentially reads as follows: The runner may overrun first base, without liability of being put out, provided the he returns immediately to first base. Some also state that an attempt to advance to second would constitute liability to be put out. Either way, an attempt at second base in any form, would violate the spirit of the rule of immediately returning to first base. - SV
