I guess I'm a little confused on the interference penalty as it applies to other runners on base. When interference is called, do the runners return to the last base occupied at the time of pitch or at the time of the interference?
According to what Marsh said at the press conference, Jeter had to return to the last base occupied at the time of the interference - NOT time of pitch.
Can anyone help clarify - please site OBR rule references.
Thanks!
