Which baseball player has a 99 as their number?

I believe a batting average of 99.94 would be impossible as a batting average is determined by dividing the number of hits by the number of at bats. A hit in every at bat would be a batting average of 1.000. Any time at bat that would not result in a hit would be an average of less than that and reported as .xxx, thus it would not be possible to have an average of anything other than 1.000 or something in the .xxx area.

What is interference in baseball?

depends on the sport, but in baseball yes he is out. its called bean-baging

EDIT: No. Baseball is not kickball. A baserunner is not out if he/she is hit by a thrown ball as long as the baserunner is in the base path. If the runner is considered to have left the base path as so to interfere with a thrown ball, or made some other purposeful effort to impede the flight of the ball (ie, stick his/her hand or leg in the way), they can be called out for interference. This is a judgment call made at the discretion of one of the umpires. However, a baserunner is considered automatically out if struck by a batted ball.

And as far as I know, bean-bagging is not a term used in baseball.
