All that said, if either of those plays is interference, why is it not interference when a player runs over a catcher?

I was going to answer that the player has the right to the baseline (as in the Albert Belle example), but no one ever tries to remove a third baseman's head from his body on a close play at third.
Then I was going to say that it might be because he has all that protection, but if the pitcher covers, you can Bo Jackson them too.
I like the rule. So I'm going to go with: It makes the game more exciting.
