QUESTION FROM A READER ON OBSTRUCTION

I have forwarded the following question to ASA for an answer, given the new playing rule on obstruction:

Situation:  Base runner on first, who takes a lead off with the pitch.

The defense runs a pick play and the defensive player blocks the bag, preventing the safe return of the runner.  Let's say with the new rule, obstruction is charged.

Is the runner awarded second base, or first base?  If the latter, I don't see any penalty on the defense for causing the obstruction. 

HUMOR

(from Jay Miller)

At a southern university, students in the psychology program were attending their first class on emotional extremes.

"Just to establish some parameters," said the professor to the student
Arkansas , "what is the opposite of joy?"
"Sadness," said the student.

"And the opposite of depression?" he asked of the young lady from Oklahoma .
"Elation," she said.

"And you sir," he said to the young man from Texas , "what about the opposite of woe?"

The Texan replied, "Sir, I believe that would be 'giddy up' ".
