Is it obstruction if runner and catcher collide at homeplate during a bang-bang play?
In this case, the man behind the dish would have a lot easier call to make.
That´s obstruction - Time - You: Home.

Obstruction? The fielder had the ball. Besides, if this is a FED game, the fielder only needs to be making an imminent play on the ball, not actually have the ball.
The original play, as written, couldn't POSSIBLY be obstruction -- the fielder had the ball and can block anything he darn well pleases.
