Try readin' it next time.

I replied to your post after reading it. Delayed dead ball in interference situations is limited to one throw by the defense. To appease you I went back, and read the whole thread. I've only seen this situation one time that I can ever remember. The umpire lost his balance, fell over toward the catcher, and no throw was actually made.
