There is absolutely nothing douchbaggy about that play. You block the plate you invite a shoulder. That was the way rose played and a hell of alot of other players played just like that.. Marichal hitting Roseboro with a bat. If you remember when The Twin's dan Gladden came in spikes high on Greg Olson in the '92 series against the Braves. Well McCarver said Roseboro would have caught that leg and broke it in 2. That was how the game was played at the time. Frank Robinson was no shrinking violet either.
