Blocking bases is celebrated and taught. But you're correct, it's illegal. But it's likelihood of being called are slim to none in the regular season. In the WS, it's a snowball's chance in hell.

I've seen it called once, maybe twice in a regular season game. It's incomprehensible that baseball's willing to have rules on its books that are still theoretically in effect but which get ignored 99% of the time. The whole umpiring/replay/rulebook situation in baseball is embarrassing.
