	Interference (baseball) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Interference might be committed by players on the offense, players not currently in the game, catchers, umpires, or fans; each type of interference is covered differently by the rules.
		It is catcher's interference when the catcher physically hinders the batter's opportunity to legally swing at a pitched ball.
		It is umpire's interference when the umpire inadvertently hinders a catcher's throw after he catches a pitch.

	Baseball Rules - Solutions
		The runner is safe because the catcher's interference causes a balk to be called on the pitcher, entitling each runner to advance one base, while the batter is awarded first base on the interference.
		Normally, the batter is out when he interferes with the catcher, but in this case the retirement of the runner nullifies the interference.
		The batter is out on strikes and the runner is called out because of the interference, giving the catcher an unassisted double play.

	Baseball Almanac - Baseball Rules
		In determining earned runs, the inning should be reconstructed without the errors (which include catcher's interference) and passed balls, and the benefit of the doubt should always be given to the pitcher in determining which bases would have been reached by errorless play.
		(e) When a runner is called out for interference with a fielder attempting to field a batted ball, unless in the scorer's judgment the batter runner would have been safe had the interference not occurred.
		A consecutive game hitting streak shall not be terminated if all the player's plate appearances (one or more) result in a base on balls, hit batsman, defensive interference or a sacrifice bunt.

		He also stated that the rule says there can only be an interference call on the batter on a throw, when the rule clearly reads "a throw or attempted play by the catcher".
		The bottom line of Section 7.09 covering runner interference is that "the runner is out and the ball is dead." However, there is still some question about what happens to the batter and to the runner on second, who are both 'in-between' when the ball is declared dead.
		The reason is that the batter's momentum carried him across the plate and this is not a "Willful" attempt to interfere with the throw of the catcher.

	Officiating.com : Baseball : Batter Interference — Naturally
		batter interfering with a catcher's attempt to pick-off a leading runner or throw out a stealing runner can be one of the most difficult plays for an umpire to call.
		Our plate training requires us to be so concentrated on tracking the pitched ball into the glove that we can sometimes miss action that takes place immediately after the ball hits the catcher's mitt.
		That type of interference can happen in the blink of an eye.

	catch
		If the batter hits the catcher with the bat while swinging, it is called catcher's interference, and the batter is awarded first base.
		Have catchers protect the throwing hand from foul-tipped balls by placing it behind the back of the leg.With the legs shoulder-width apart, the catcher keeps the weight on the balls of the feet so he is ready to move in any direction for a poorly thrown ball.
		Staying low helps the catcher avoid being hit by the swing of the batter and allows the umpire to see the baseball as it crosses the plate.When a ball is pitched in the dirt, the catcher should try to block the ball and keep it in front of the body.

		But for all the final victory, Finley lost his manager, Dick Williams, who publicly announced his displeasure with Finley's interference, and left the team after the series was over.
		Shortstop Bud Harrelson, the secret to the infield, catcher Jerry Grote, and left fielder Cleon Jones all sat out at least one month with injuries and Willie Mays, who finally said good-bye to baseball after 21 years, played only 66 games as a result of injuries and age.

	In Texas, Little Things Add Up to a Big Win
		The Rangers' Rod Barajas reached base in the ninth inning yesterday in Arlington, Tex., on catcher's interference to load the bases for slumping slugger Hank Blalock, who hit a dribbler on a 1-2 pitch that popped out of the glove of shortstop Jason Bartlett as Phil Nevin crossed the plate with the winning run.
		The catcher's interference ruling turned out to be a key play, with Barajas's bat barely nicking the glove of Twins C Joe Mauer for an error.
		Hank Blalock, second from right, is greeted by his Texas teammates after his game-winning, 75-foot RBI single.

	Portsmouth Herald Column -- Cereal Box Philosophy: Jason Varitek worthy of role-model status
		Varitek didn’t give up, though; he toyed with Hernandez, and the Oakland catcher waited too long to make the throw so that Chavez was called for interference when he collided with Varitek without having the ball to tag him.
		Because Varitek didn’t take for granted that he’d be tagged out, he earned the interference call and scored the one run that would take the game to extra innings, when Nixon eventually hit the deciding home run.
		Byrnes angrily shoved Varitek as the catcher ran after the ball.

	The Amateur Baseball Umpire Home Page
		Interference is any act by the offense that "interferes with, obstructs, impedes, hinder or confuses any fielder attempting to make a play." (2.00) Do not confuse this with a true case of "defensive interference", commonly seen as catcher's interference, in which the batter is prevented from hitting the ball by a fielder.
		Obstruction, found in rule 7.06, is always committed by the defense on a runner.
		By calling the obstruction the umpire clearly indicated that the actions of the fielder were at fault.
