Anything?

My partner came up right away with a T, and I didn't protest because I was very unsure. I wouldn't have even put a whistle on it, most likely.

Immediate Dead Ball. The Runner is out because of the Interference by his HC and all other Runners return to the Base they had acquired at the time that Interference occurred.

P.S. The correct Ruling is: Delayed Dead Ball and the Runner is Out because of Interference by his HC.

I have no idea what I was thinking when I wrote my original comment except I was trying to be cute and forgot the correct Ruling. Mark, Jr., will not let me forget this for a very long time. LOL!
