It seems odd, that I have never read a case play, and missed this one for my entire time umpiring. But here is the common scenerio.
Its simply a bound ground ball to a fielder and a throw for a put out a first base. The first baseman foot (and maybe even body) is standing square on the base. The only thing the runner can do is run into him, or spike him.
This seems obstruction on the first baseman. But whos call is this. I would assume in almost any umpire formation, it would be the PU.
