Question for the baseball experts. Lester drops the ball instead of letting it pass him. Billy kicks it either on purpose or inadvertently after scoring. Can Votto score? Hamilton can't be called out for interference because he has already scored and is not a base-runner any longer.

i would say no. I would think the ball would be dead at that point much like as if it were touched by a fan or ball boy/girl
If a player on the bases was allowed to keep running then players would be instructed to do whatever they could to a dropped ball after they score

It would probably depend on if it is intentional or by chance. Never really seen a play like described in the way that is suggested.
Tough question. If it's accidental, I'm not sure, but I think it is still a live ball.
