You could make the argument that A-Rod was obstructed, but it would be a poor one. For one, A-Rod got tagged and then interfered with Arroyo before he ever got to Mientkiewicz. Second, A-Rod never had the chance to have Mientkiewicz obstruct him because when he swatted the ball out of Arroyo's hand, that contact caused him to stumble off a bit to his right and miss first base. By that time Mientkiewicz was out of his way and never came close to obstruction. Mientkiewicz really ended up being a non-factor in the play.

Well I am certainly wiser than this man. It is only too likely that neither of us has any knowledge to boast of; but he thinks that he knows something which he does not know, whereas I am quite conscious of my ignorance. At any rate it seems that I am wiser than he is to this small extent, that I do not think that I know what I do not know. ~Socrates
