It hit a retired runner who is a part of the game in my opinion. If it wasn't intentional I've got a big fat nothin'

Blocked ball...one of my favorite rules. Unlike the "look back" rule, the blocked ball rule has stayed true to its century-plus-old roots.

If this were to cause a dead ball, it would sent the game to "kick ball" status.
Runners running around the bases? Simply fire one at the retired BR and all will stop....................... I think not. Therefore, no blocked ball, no interference, no dead ball.
