OK folks, try this. Game three of the '75 World Series between the BoSox and the Big Red Machine (That's Boston vs. Cincinnati for those of you in Rio Linda).

Bottom of the 10th and Cesar Geronimo is on first. Sparky Anderson sends Ed Armbrister up and after a 1-1 count, Armbrister lays a bunt down. He then runs into Red Sox catcher Carlton Fisk in fair territory, causing Fisk to throw high over second base and Geronimo is safe at third. PU Larry Barnett ruled no interference on Armbrister.

Now, After viewing game three in the confort of my home, I got a chance to see the actual play (thank you Netflix(R) ) and it was, to me, obviously interference. Whaddyathink??
