If A-Rod had simply continued running, and collided with the pitcher, it would have been legal (and analogous to the plays you keep mentioning at home). His play last night was more like a runner running home, trying to score, stopping, and then swinging his hand at the glove of the catcher to knock the ball out. That is illegal.

And (as I said above) - if you've been doing this for 18 years, you already know that.
