Greymule,
The second the runner put his arms up and waved them you got interference, there does not need to be actual interference / contact. He was attempting to block the throw and / or keep the second baseman from catching the throw. It does not matter how far from second he was at the time. Ring him up. It is not up to us as umpires to decide if he actual blocked the first or second basemans vision. It was his intent that we as umpire are looking at in make the call. Again I say ring him up! IMHO
