...I have the J/R Rules differences edition. What page did you find the interpretation regarding the baserunner on the base w/a fielder and ball in the vicinity? My interpreation was based on BRD 2004 by Childress, p176, sec 304: interference by runner w/batted ball before it passes a fielder (ball is dead, runner is out) and pp 178-179, sec 308: interference by runner w/batted ball on base hit by ball (runner is out unless hit by declared infield fly EXCEPT if defensive player had a chance to field a fair batted ball and chose not to)...
