The beauty of this is that your opinion doesn't matter--if the batter kicks the ball it is deemed intentional.

Yes it is interference and you can find it in the Smitty 101 Rulebook!

i see this: "If, in the judgment of the umpire, the runner deliberately and intentionally kicks such a batted ball on which the infielder has missed a play, then the runner shall be called out for interference."

but thats not the answer---theres sucha thing asa unintentional kick. i dont have the ozzyinterp 2007 Edition so sorry bout that!
