What I was fishing for was whether there was any basis for ruling OBS followed by INT. I know I was taking this in a somewhat different direction than the thrust of WMB's question...
I agree that the protection is given on a batted ball, but the "about to catch" survived in the interference rule, even after it was taken out the OBS rule. It was still there in last year's book. This gives the umpire the abilility to rule INT on a thrown ball if the runner CHOSE to crash rather than avoid.
Too bad it's gone (IMO).
