Here is the deal, I do not think the players give a damn how many bases are awarded when we call obstruction or when the ball goes into dead ball territory. It is like a college freshman football player worrying about where the spot of the foul is on his holding call. This is not their concern or something they lay up night thinking about. They are more concerned that the call was made and why you made the call, not the wording of the rules and the codes that dictate it. And even though a FED Obstruction might be different than a PONY Obstruction, the kids are not going to mull over the difference like we are. But then again, I remember playing the game thru HS and I could not even tell you what obstruction was when I left HS. I am sure the kids that play the game are not in for that much of a shock. Just a guess, maybe?

Peace
