Know how many were ejected? Not one player! The umpires could be seen warning them but no ejections and they went back to playing ball! 2 weeks ago it took 45 minutes and replays and ejections of half the teams for a little knee bump at home plate! Holy crap things have changed too much!
That's right. I played back when the catcher could block the plate and you could run over him and despite my small size I took every opportunity to do just that. Nobody even got mad when it happened, just part of the game.
