Hard line drive down first base line. BR leading catcher and I trailing. Ball hits the line. Catcher yells out "FOUL BALL!!!!". BR stops and turns to question my judgement only to find me pointing furiously fair. He resumes running and I stick out my left arm but right fielder is now taking his time chasing down the "foul ball". BR takes a wide turn at third, thinks better of it since the ball has finally been retrieved and returns to third. Time. I award BR home on the obstruction.
Defense tries to argue that it was only verbal and I can't call it Obs. Sorry fellas your catcher yelled something reserved for me.
Defense now tries to argue that it also obstructed their fielder.
Sigh. Sorry fellas no rule against interfering with a team mate.
