Interference on A-Rod, Game 6 ALCS

Got the response - posting as promised:



Hi Rich,

Although we have not talked to Marsh about this, his signal of "safe" would
have indicated both that there was no tag (ball was on the ground) and that
Rodriguez was safe at first.

Thanks for your question,

Gary Cederstrom
WUA
