Sorry Panda, my bad. Around here we tell our runners that just because an infielder is stupid and stands in a basepath that it doesn't make them fair game. We still expect you to go around them and we'll give you obstruction, if you lower a shoulder and take 'em out we'll be calling INT (based on the fact that you've just knocked down someone that may be receiving a throw soon)and we'll be ejecting. Obviously this doesn't apply when the defense is wandering or making sudden moves, only when the runner has a resonable chance to avoid a collision. Jim
