I'm sorry, but if this assumption is correct, NO INTERFERENCE, ASA or otherwise. I agree, I may have been too general in my statement "past a fielder." To what degree of a chance are you giving this fielder? No way, unless the runners are as slow as molasses, is this fielder now going to have even the slightest chance of making a play, anywhere.
Just like you said, as you "envision" the ball.

All I said was that (a) if the player had the possibility of a play on the ball, it is interference and (b) that the ball getting "behind" the fielder was irrelevant to this rule.
