My friends and I are having a small argument and hopefully you guys can help. We were watching a MLB game on Sunday and there was a passed ball where a runner was tagged out at the plate by the pitcher. My friend asked "What if the runner ran over the pitcher like runners do catchers." I feel that the runner would be either ejected and or fined for such an act. I feel its is one of those "unwritten rules," but I am curious to see what the rule book would say and if anyone has had this happen, what they did.

Q: Can a runner bowl over the pitcher if he is covering home?
