Or is the interference rule different in your world,
Again, only you and Kreskin would have known in advance what was going to happen. The rest of us are not that good. We wouldn't have necessarily known that because we would have killed play.

I agree with UmpJM, MByron and Ozzie. (To quote JM: FWIW, I concur with mbyron & ozzy (who I believe are in "violent agreement") that a more proper call would have been (weak) "interference without a play" - kill it, put everyone where he is, mildly admonish the on-deck guy, reset and put the ball back in play.")
