There are quite a number of people who disagree with you besides PWL. We have all had the opportunity now to read Rumble's "ruling" which has yet to be incorporated in plain English in either the Rule Book or the Case Book. Perhaps you should review the entire thread and count the number of folks who remain undecided, or think that it could possibly
not be interference.
Situation 19 is an example, and not a cut and dried, "one size fits all" rule to end all rules. It only addresses a runner who is less than halfway to 2nd base. It
does not address a runner who is 10 feet from the base who may or may not be in the act of beginning to slide when hit by a throw which is less than 3 feet off the ground, hit the runner in the thigh, and more than likely would not have made it to 1st base anyway.
