50. By rule which of the following can result in a warning?
A. A runner removes his helmet in live ball territory while the ball is alive.
B. A fielder, without the ball, fakes a tag.
C. Members of the offense line-up along the third base line to touch knuckles with a home run hitter before he reaches the plate.
D. An on-deck batter uses objects other than bats to loosen up.
E. A fielder stands in such a way that a runner tagging up cannot see a catch in the outfield.
F. A fielder verbally interferes; i.e., tells a runner advancing on a wild pitch: "foul ball".
G. A batter throws a bat carelessly.
I think the only correct answer is E. C relates to warning on the first offense and ejecting for further offenses. If the whole team is out there, you have multiple offenses and an ejection. Can you warn and eject on the same play?

Multiple offenses, but one team warning. Ejection(s) would come late. The answer key has C as the only correct answer (5-2-d), but E would also be (8-3-f). The warning would come after the obstruction award.
