woolnojg,
So what you are saying is if the SS is playing deep because
the batter is a real slugger, hits a ground ball towards the SS
and the runner from second passes in front of him, because he could
not go behind, could, but that would put him in left field,
then the runner must stop and wait for the SS to play the
ball, or be called out of interference. Since by your state-
ment
in Fed baseball it is interference to pass between the ball
and the fielder. Hmmmmm.
