Patrick from Pitchers & Poets on home plate collisions:
No More Poseys
↵↵Hockey has its referee-sanctioned fistfights, football has its everything; baseball, in comparison, has merely sacrificed Ray Fosse to the altar of bloodlust.
↵I’d like to leave the collisions behind, relegating them to the memories of belt-grabbing and knee-high cleats ... my idealized baseball would involve no contact at all between the players beyond the tag; every moment in baseball centers on each player’s interaction with the ball, not each other.
↵↵The bit about Fosse is something of a myth, but that’s a quibble.
