Barack Obama on Game 3 of the World Series
Let me be clear (in my best Obama-tone): the rule. as it states. clearly defines. obstruction. as the act. of a fielder. not in possession of the ball. physically impeding. the progress. of a runner. (the hand gestures start here) now. let me be clear. the rule. does not clarify if an out. should be called. if the runner. is making no. apparent. attempt. to intentionally impede the progress of the runner. nor does it into account. the circumstances of the call. clearly — and let me be firm on this matter — the situation that transpired. in st. louis. was not. an. instance. of. obstruction. i call on members of both parties. to work together. to resolve. this crisis.
