More obstruction

[Buck912]

I have to disagree with Ronald and Tom on the example #2. In my opinion (speaking Federation rules), if the 3rd baseman, after the obstruction, throws the BR out at first, the offensive coach would have a choice of the play or taking the penalty for obstruction. The BR would not be out if the coach chooses to have the obstruction penalty enforced. I would place the R1 on 3rd base and the BR would be entitled to first base, assuming the coach elects to have the penalty enforced. And in this situation the coach's choice would be obvious......
