Umpire Obstruction
I have unfortunately seen this in games I was not officiating and have been asked about it. I have done some research and I haven't found the answer in a rules book yet.
What is the ruling when a Runner runs into an umpire? Both times I have seen this the umpire has been out of correct position. One time it did made a difference in the play, the runner was called out on a close play at the base he was trying to advance to. What is the correct ruling in this situation? Can somebody inform me of a rule #?
