Runner on third, no one out. Batter hits a fly ball to deep right field. The runner tags up. The right fielder, knowing the run will score as soon as he official catches the ball, starts juggling the ball while running toward the plate (he's a good juggler). He gets to the infield and finally takes possession of the ball, so the runner can't in theory leave third.
I couldn't find a rule against this in a quick search of the book, but I would guess it would be considered an attempt to deceive the runner and would be illegal -- batter out, but runner allowed to score.
Opinions?
