I like that difference in the other rule sets.

NSA states:

"If a play is being made on the obstructed runner or if the batter-runner is obstructed before reaching 1st base, the ball is dead........"

This always leads to a question when taking the rule as written:

Lets say the runner is obstructed between 1B and 2B, and later a play is made on the runner at home plate. By the letter of this rule, there would be a dead ball because a play is being made on an obstructed runner.

I bekieve the rule should probably read: "If a play is being made on the obstructed runner WHILE BEING OBSTRUCTED, .........."
