The origional quote does not have F3 receiving or in the process of receiving the ball. That is why I made no reference to interference.
Here is the origional situation.

Runner on First and Third. F3 is playing about a foot in front of the bag. The batter runner hits a blooper to short right field. A collosion occurs between R1 and F3 in the baseline about 2 feet from first base. F9 picks up the ball and easliy throws R1 out at second. The offense of coach is arguing for an obstruction by F3.

Boone, unless you were at this game and saw this play, I do not see how you can even think of interference from the origional situation. Again I remind you that R1 obviously never took a secondary lead off the bag! That is the only way (referring to the situation given) that R1 & F3 could collide
within 2 feet of the bag!
Why is it when contact occurs, everyone wants to be the hero and make a call? Sometimes, there is no call to make.
