Example of a catcher actually blocking home plate

By Tangotiger

This is a catcher interfering.

Feel free to post other example of plays where the catcher was actually between the runner and the plate (or right on the plate).

And note the runner ran straight throw, and did not contort his body to maximize the tackle potential.
