I didn't mean to infer that the runner "trying" to interfere is, in itself, interference. I just found it interesting that the runner did make a concerted effort to position himself in the catcher's throwing lane. Personally, I think it's brilliant on the part of the runner. I'm sure he knows that he's going to be put out quite easily. Why not muddy the water in the process? If the umpire calls him out for interference - fine! He was going to be out anyway. If the umpire doesn't call him out for interference (as in this case) - even better!
