If the catcher was trying to make a play and was blocking your progress to the plate, then you have every right to run the catcher over.HOWEVER, if the catcher didn't have the ball, you could have run around him and probably run him over unnecessarily. If you are in Little League, that may be grounds for ejection.
After about a week of baseball what do you think?
What are the league rules? In the industrial softball league I played in they changed the rule saying you can not run over the catcher! If you did you were out! SO if your rule says that then the umpire knew the rule and followed it! CHECK THE RULES OF YOUR LEAGUEWho should win MVP for baseball? exept A-Rod?
Well where are you ? If I'm rounding 3rd and running over the Catcher, how do I know if you are safe? You didn't tell me where you were.Is this a trick question?
Is there anything wrong with my throwing arm?
It sounds like the catcher impeded your progress and should have been an interference call and you should have been safe. A catcher is allowed to block on and around the plate only. The only thing I can see is that your league has a rule against running into a player.Does anyone know where I can find an Albert Pujols #6 Memphis Redbirds Jersey?
There are two questions that need to be answered here:1) Did the catcher have the ball??
2) Are there rules in your league prohibiting running over the catcher.
If the catcher had the ball, he ahd every right to be there and if you ran into him and he held onto the ball, you are out. If he dropped the ball, you are safe.
If the catcher didn't have the ball, thats interference and you should be awarded the base, you are safe.
Both of those are moot points if you can't run over the catcher in your league, though. In the league I play in, we have a must slide rule - no plowing the catcher. If you do, you are automatically called out and ejected. Sounds like what happened to you. With the catcher being ten feet up the line, that would probably be a judgment call on the umps part, because you obviously can't slide from there.
