What's the rule on the Boston first baseman standing in the lane between Arod and first base? Isn't that illegal ? And since he was standing there prior to the "tag" , what is the rule here. If Arod had barreled into him and Aroyo what would have been the rule. If a person without the ball is allowed to stand between the runner and first base, everyone would have a designated stopper at first.

One of a couple of reasons why it was a stupid move by A-Rod. Mientkiewicz may have been guilty of obstruction, but the interference took precedence.
