This reminds me of "I strenusouly object" from A Few Good Men. In other words.......so?
But you got me to dig out my BRD.
NCAA: If in the umpire's judgment, obstruction occurred near enough to a base so that it prevented the runner from conveniently touching the bag, a subsequent appeal at the base would be denied. [Fetchiet, 4/20/2001]
OBR: Fitzpatrick agreed with Fetchiet (12/26/01) but added the umpire must be absolutely certain the obstruction kept the runner from the base.
FED: Silent. Carl recommends you treat the same as NCAA, and I agree.
