Well, I don't have access to my books right now, but off the top of my head that is not a universally true statement. Interference with a fielder fielding a batted ball does not have to be intentional, true. Apparently, the umpire ruled the fielder had already fielded the ball. Intent does come into play with interference with a thrown ball. Would it also come into play with a fielder attempting to get set to throw a ball or make a play? When the called interference on A-Rod for slapping the fielder's arm, they made a point of calling it an intentional act. I believe that if the umpire had ruled the fielder was done fielding the correct call would be no interference on the the ensuing contact unless the umpire was convinced the the contact was intentional.
