Somehow, I think that if it is a home to third double play attempt, and the runner coming into home interferes, I would be calling the runner going into 3rd out too.

If you can quote the rule to support your comment, I will gladly change my mind on this.

That's in reference to 8-4-2G (which contains similar or identical wording) -- interfering with a thrown ball or interfering with a fielder in his initial attempt to field a batted ball.

The ruling on a FPSR violation has already been posted -- and it's the BR who is out.
