On a close play at first base, the throw is a bit off and carries the first baseman's glove so that it is in the base path just as the runner arrives at the base. The runner collides with the first baseman and knocks him over and causes the ball to come out of the glove. Would you rule this obstruction and award first to the runner, interference on the runner and call him out or make no interference/obstruction call and the runner is safe at first?
In the few times I have had to rule on this, I have gone with interference on the batter-runner.
