chuck chopper If I'm reading correctly this part of the rule is talking about the fielder while fielding a batted ball OBSTRUCTS the runner. I did not think it possible. Anytime a fielder is fielding a batted ball and she & the runner get entangled..I always thought the call would go to the fielder and be interference?
MrRabbit That is interesting... Look at 8-7-j-1 The runner is out... When the runner interferes with a fielder attempting to field a batted bat.. Which we know is right. Looks like the fingers got crossed again... Rabbit

A one letter typo, and one which proper grammar would correct; should read "is obstructed by a fielder who neither has the ball Nor is attempting to field a batted ball".
