I think...the following:
If it's a force out, in other words the runner is not entitled to return to the base from whence he came, the fielder must have the ball in his possession and simply touch the base with any part of his body or with the ball itself. If it's not a force out, you have to tag the runner (not the base) with the hand that has the ball in it. Either your glove, if the ball's in your glove, or your bare hand if the ball is in the bare hand. At least I think that's the rule.

Are you out if tagged with an empty glove, ball in other hand? Can I get a ruling on that? The first baseman looked so stunned for blowing the play at the plate, he couldn't bother to make a proper tag while feeling sorry for himself. What am I missing? Jay P.
