Wait a minute, Roger. There were three pages of this thread covering 32 replies and probably a 3rd of them were mine.
They all supported an interference call on any throw NOT going to 1st base unless it was an attempt to pick-off a runner returning to that base.
Many, and not incorrectly so, took the stance that since there was no specific rule covering this scenario, there should have been no call. For ASA, this play can draw a wide-range of varying calls and I personally believe that a good umpire can sell either side of it.
