Ok, so other than bird strikes, where should 9.01(c) be invoked? Has anyone ever actually used it and what was the situation?

Sorry, you're correct. You need to remove the batter after the third visit in an inning (8.06(a)) or the fourth in a game (8.06(b)).

A pitcher may only be be visited twice during an at bat.

Sounds like an illegally batted ball. If it hit the catcher's glove, it's no longer a pitch and the batter isn't allowed to hit it. Add a strike to the count and the ball is dead. The runners have to...

I'd say in most cases if a fielder runs over a runner from behind, there's no interference, but there is obstruction. Dead ball and the batter becomes R1.

Secondly, getting hit by a bad throw or missed catch isn't always interference....

Absolutely the right call. As long as the batter tries to avoid the pitch, doesn't swing at the pitch, and doesn't get hit in the strike zone, he gets a base. Doesn't matter if it bounces first.
