			I second that motion.  If it was a situation where I felt the runner, seeing the ball go by the first baseman and toward the fence, could have made it to second had there been no "obstruction", that's what I award him.  If I don't, what's to stop any fielder from "obstructing" a runner not trying to advance in order to GUARANTEE that he won't advance in the event of a badly thrown ball?
