Interesting Cobb. Jimmy Austin said that Cobb would flat out tell infielders that they had nothing to worry about as long as they did not block the bag completely. Cobb was right. Blocking a bag completely to prevent an advancing runner from reaching it w.o having the ball in hand is an obstruction of the runner under Rule 7.06
