Now I'm really confused. I thought that whether the OBS affected the out on that player was irrelevant. In fact, a couple of years ago there was nearly universal agreement on this board that OBS should be called on a play I posted:
Abel on 2B, Baker on 1B, 2 outs. Charles his a hard one-hopper that F5 gloves moving to his right. A moment before F5 steps on 3B for the force on Abel, F6 obstructs Abel—60 feet from 3B.
As I remember, one poster said he would conveniently not see the OBS in that case. All the others agreed that Abel should be awarded 3B.
