Sure... it would .... if the OP said that... which it doesn't. The part where he added something to the play does. Which is what you were responding to. It is not what I was responding to.

Obstruction on a Steal
Wasn't there so I can only go by the play as it was described.

R1 steals 2nd base. The throw from F2 causes F6 to leap for the ball. Sliding runner makes contact with F6 who then goes to the ground and lands on R1. Obstruction was called.

What would you have to see in this scenario in order to call obstruction? I'm guessing (key word) that simply making contact is not enough in this scenario.

Thanks.
