AZ, I disagree. Tom has a very solid point here, as ASA has made a POE that is quite simply NOT A TRUE STATEMENT.
"Blocking the base without the ball is obstruction."
That, by itself, is absolutely not true. It's part of a truth, but the 2nd half of this truth is just as important.
"Causing a runner to alter or slow his/her path by blocking the base without the ball is obstruction."
Why not word it correctly?
