In this instance, "intentionally" means "meant to handle / kick / push / stop / ... the ball."

While there is a concept of "willful indifference," I don't think it applies here.

The ODH didn't mean to handle throw w/ a bat, kick or push the ball out-of-play, or stop the defense from playing on R1. It was all a huge misunderstanding on the part of the defense and their fans.

"Because it seems apparent in your situation that the fielder was not, nor could be, in position to field the ball, there is no interference. Since it was not done intentionally, the ball is alive and in play."
That same excuse worked for Reggie Jackson {7.08b}. I fell asleep at the double-switch.

Quote:
A-rod's mortal sin has been compared to Reggie Jackson's sticking his hip out intentionally in the 1978 World Series to deflect a throw from Dodgers shortstop Bill Russell to first baseman Steve Garvey. The umps ruled, however that Jackson did not intentionally deflect the ball with his movement.
The umps can't be wrong here.

The humanity of it all. It looks like the site is going to have to be taken down just to stop this nonsense. These are getting old. Can we please move on?

Get over it already. Seeing these are getting old and the posts keep getting modified to grow to even dumber heights. Time to close another thread.
