IN my mind, though, I'm trying to picture how he "interfered. "Getting in the way of" and "interfered with" are not the same thing.

Maybe this helps (or maybe not).

The play meets the DEFINITION of Interference -- that is, the offense altered the play.

But, not every "alteration of play" has a penalty -- only those listed in rule 8. The definition allows the rules writers to just use the word "Interference" in the penalty section instead of constantly repeating "hinders, confuses, alters the play ..."

If they meant ALL interference to be an out, then the rule / penalty would only be one sentence, instead of containing such qualifiers as "intentionally" or "thrown ball" or "batted ball before it passes a fielder" etc.
