Dakota,

my point is that it seems to be a double standard. (Yes, duh, I saw the second response.)

I belabor the point as there seems to be a double standard. MLB runners going into home plate who chuck at the catcher's mitt are not ruled out for Interference, which by rule would cause other runners to return to their original base(s).

My point is that A-Rod swatted as hundreds/thousands of other runners have swatted at home plate over the years, (1) I have yet to see any MLB umpire when this happens at the dish send other runner(s) back to their original base(s), and (2) there is nothing in the rule book allowing distinguishing "legal" chucking at the catcher's mitt at home plate from any other base.
