Maybe the catchers should try tagging the runners like the other players do, instead of blocking the plate with their body. You block another base it’s interference. JUst stick the ball and the glove by the plate and tag them when they try to touch the base.

Maybe the catchers feel that the best way to protect the plate and insure the out is to block the plate in preparation of the collision........Seems to me, the catching community would have already thought of that stupid idea and put it to use if they thought it would work.
I'm thinking they did and it didn't.....decades ago

Where the heck did you ever get that idea? Have you ever played the game? There is no such thing as "interference in blocking a base" if there is a play being made at that base.
