So ASA considers animinals objects, but persons are not objects? (they were an additional classification in the rule quoted) Just a thought. I'm not going to argue that one but it is a bit questionable. We could get into a problem with how big an animinal we consider. How about the large moth in the night game?

I've only seen three times an animinal intefered with a game.
(1) The Lanier's pet buck (a six pointer that fall) jumping the fence and running acrose the infield during a play.

(2) A player's dog trying to chase the ball in the outfield after slipping through the gate.

(3) A diamond back rattler breaking up a double play by slithering out from under second base! (Runner and F6 both abandoned attempt to complete play at same time.)

Talk about third world plays!!!
