Technically, this would be legal at Babe Ruth. There is only a collision/malicious contact rule on plays at home plate.

Although at the BR level, I would use rule 9 to get an unsportsmanlike ejection.

So your saying the rules allow them to play however, your going to find a way to interject yourself into the game, contrary to the rules. What other rules do you think BR would like you to interpret for them.
