It is funny how first base is in fair territory and the runners lane to first is in foul territory. Often times on bunts to the right side you see the runner ruled out for not running in his lane...even though first base isn't even in the lane. This is especially difficult for a right handed batter who is already on the wrong side of the lane to start. He must get in his lane and then swipe first base as he goes by? Then the runner and firstbaseman must both have a foot on the base as the runner goes by. Tight squeeze.
Maybe beer league softball is on to something by having 2 first bases next to each other. It kills to birds with one stone.
