victory,
I believe Seth's point is that there is no "malicious contact" rule in the text of the OBR. While there is some language in the Major League Baseball Umpire Manual (Section 6.1, 3rd paragraph) that suggests that there are, at least hypothetically, some actions the runner could take which could be considered malicious contact - penalized as intentional interference - under the "custom and practice" of MLB, Howard's actions were completely permissible and "not even close" to an infraction under MLB rules and interpretations.
