This really happened. Your not going to believe it!

", in the umpire's judgment, interferes with the fielder taking the throw at first base,"

If the throw is wide, it's not B/Rs fault. F3 had a clear shot at the throw, if it were good. Can't penalize B/R for lousy throw.

You can argue your point as much as you want, but it will be to no avail. It has always been understood that the throw must come from the vicinity of home plate, and you aren't going to change it.
