One of the first baseball lessons a fielder(usually the catcher or first baseman) learns the hard way is not to stand on top of the base when there's a runner coming and no ball doing the same. We've all seen it. Some of us have been able to say, "Get out of the way if you don't have the ball". Some of us have just had to watch a kid, dazed, pick himself up off the ground while he hears a "ringing" in his ears. And then they may hear, "OBSTRUCTION!" to boot. Lesson usually learned the first time. (We won't go into ejections for drilling that fielder here - it isn't the lesson to be learned this time!).
