This is hilarious and an example of trying to be smart on a baseball field, but fail miserably. The Colorado Rockies botched some throwing attempts in a game against the Arizona Diamondbacks recently. They do get Kole Calhoun in a pickle. Typical situation. With a throw to second, he hits the ball with his helmet. Because of that, it's considered interference and is called out. His manager tries to defend it and gets thrown out.
There are many rules that we may not think of. For runners, running around the baseline. I don't think I have ever seen an out from someone who did a headbutt. From the video, it seemed to be that he slowed down to get to the angle of where the ball it would be. It was timed perfectly so that it could mess up the Rockies. But it meant nothing. Really bad lapse in judgment. This is a not top 10 for the week.
What else is there to be said? Headbutting never solves anything. Ask Zinedine Zidane back in 2006. Calhoun should have known that.
