In Hockey I can body check a player trying to score and not have INT/OBS called on me. Should I now also assume this is the same as bowling over the catcher?  I can't for the life of me figure out how diving in FB has any bearing on diving in BB. |
The rules clearly state that you can dive over a fielder that is lying on the ground. I was only using the FB reference for comparison saying FB was similar to baseball in this regard. Nowhere did I say that since you can drill the QB in FB can you drill the catcher in baseball. See what you read and read what you see. Don't put words into my post.
