2010 ASA Rule Book (haven't got this years copy yet)
Definition of obstruction in rule 1 is as already described above - no mention of thrown ball.
Rule 8-5-B also says fielder must have ball or be fielding batted ball ...
... but 8-5-B-4 says in sentance b.: the fielder "Is attempting to field a batted or thrown ball".
Leading to some confusion on my part as this would seem to argue against the other definitions.
Am I missing something? Is there some specific case being clarified in 8-5-B-4?
