Question
Guest Anthony
Dear All,
I would like to ask you a question. Can you please watch this video (1991 NLCS Game 5)?
(39:05)

At the end of the play, He-who-shall-not-be-named says:
Brian Hunter tries to grab Don Slaught. And by grabbing Slaught, it would have been interference and Hunter would have scored.
Is it true? First of all, He-who-shall-not-be-named ignores the difference between INTERFERENCE and OBSTRUCTION. But if Hunter had grabbed Slaught, would have the umpire called the obstruction? I was a baseball umpire many years ago. So, it is possible that I have forgotten many of the rules. But, this explanation by He-who-shall-not-be-named doesn't seem right.
What do you think? Thanks.
