Runner's Lane Violation

In order for the batter runner to be called out for interference it has to involve a throw. The throw should be on a play from behind i.e. the pitcher or the catcher and perhaps rarely the third baseman. At least one foot needs to be completely out of the lane e.g. left foot completely in fair territory, no part of the foot on the foul line. Especially at higher levels the throw should be a quality throw. Jim/NYC
