“Otherwise R1 running through the bag five seconds after the play and with the infielder ten feet away is interference.”
F6 is still in possession of the ball. Are we watching the same video?
I feel like a few might be over thinking the video IMO and the rule in general.
Was it a FORCE PLAY? Yes.
Was he in the VICINITY of the base? Yes.
Did he SLIDE DIRECTLY INTO THE BAG/VEER OFF or GIVE HIMSELF UP(away from the fielder)? No.
Does the fact the BR would have been safe/out matter? NO.
Is the spirit of the rule to PROMOTE SAFETY? Yes.
Are we talking youth ball, high school, DIII-DI?

Has anyone had their Honigs/Majestic Shirt with the white piping down the ribs tailored? If so were they able to keep the piping on the side when tailoring it?
