HTBT, but off the top of my head, I got BR out for the caught popup, and a warning or ejection on F1, depending if glove hit BR or not...If I felt that BR could have avoided contact and didnt, then interference on BR, and any advancing runners go back....FED

The only thing you can do under FED rules is call malicious contact or nothing. If you do not deem there is MC, then the runner can be ejected. If not then you have got nothing. I had the very same play happen a couple of years ago in the post season and I called nothing. The players just ran into each other and in my opinion there was nothing malicious on either player's part.
I almost forgot; eject the pitcher for his throwing the glove afterwards. But that has nothing to do with the actual pay. Peace

Surely you have to at least warn, if not eject, for attempting to hit an opponent with a piece of equipment. |

F1 is guilty of Obstruction, which is disregarded because F2 legally caught the batted ball in flight.
BR out. F1 warned/ejected for USC, depending on the particulars. JM

F1 would be ejected for unsportsmanlike conduct. Now if BR did interfere with an attempted catch, that's where OBR and FED are different as to the penalties. Thanks David |

This one seems cut and dried. But considering who made the post, perhaps we're missing something. Perhaps the fact that the collission/ejection(s) occurred before the ball was caught matters? If the answer is anything other than what was posted above, I'm grasping at straws.
My first reaction is the same as the rest though - out on the catch, F1 tossed.

I called the obstruction, watched F1 throw the glove, watched F2 catch the ball. Then I wiped off the obstruction and ejected F1. Inning over. It's been a boring season. Just a play to show that sometimes it seems as though you won't have anything to do and then something unfolds before your eyes. |

Fortunately, everyone had the good sense to leave it alone and play the rest of the game (and the second half of the DH) without incident. Sheesh.
