Or to go further. As stated above, a BR is out IF he interferes. No one would question that. Is being hit by a throw interfering? Not in itself. If so............. kick ball, here we come.

agreed, just as we still judge intent by the offensive player, we also judge the intent of the defensive player as well. So we don't have kick ball.
Which leads to this question:
So why does the book specifically mention being 'out of the box'. Why would that matter (being in or out of the box)? in terms of the current definition of interference mentioned in this thread.
shouldn't it simply read 'the batter/runner interferes with a thrown ball' and leave it at that?
