You are certainly free to NOT make that call as IN YOUR JUDGMENT it may not be obstruction.

I think that the Fed purpose is clear. As this play relates to sportsmanship. They are saying, essentially, that such bush league tactics have no place in Fed baseball, and here is a way to deal with one such tactic. (I've never seen it, anyone?)

Remember, in 2001 clinics, and per rulebook, plate meetings must include a short speech about sportsmanship. Obviously, FED considers this play to be unsportsmanlike.
