Verbal Obstruction??

A play that occurred 33 years ago in a local LL game is still talked about around here. Runner on 3B, pitcher had the ball, waiting for the next batter to get ready. Adult 3B coach got the pitcher's attention, and held up his hand as if he was preparing to catch the ball. Then he said, calmly but very seriously, "Son, let me see that ball." The kid, deferring to the adult, flipped the ball to the coach, who then scampered out of the way and screamed for his runner to take off.

Greymule,

On that play, I would have R3 out due to verbal interference by the coach, and the coach GONE due to USC.
