Hank,
Can you clarify the saftey bag for me? On a drop 3rd stike and the catcher is in foul territory and throws to 1st base. Is the 1st baseman allowed to use that orange base to make the out?

Thanks
Rich

Rich- yes to first basemen using foul side base of double base in your specific question.
ASA rule 8-M-4
On any force out attempt from the foul side of first base the defense and batter-runner may use either the white or contrasting color portion of the base.
