2001-2...
ISF changed in 2001 for the 2002 (current) rule book to read:
Sec. 53. OBSTRUCTION.
Obstruction is the act of
a. A defensive player or team member that hinders or prevents a batter from striking or hitting a pitched ball.
b. A fielder, while
1. not in possession of the ball, or
2. not in the act of fielding a batted ball,
which impedes the progress of a runner or batter-runner that is legally running bases.
And, yes, I can hear the definitions being argued on the field now over the 2006 NFHS POE and those words...
