I was in the stadium when Bob Gibson got his leg broken by a return of a fast-ball when he was at the top of his game. There’s a lot of things that can happen in baseball and Pete Rose was just a jerk anyway.

A couple of years ago Albert Pujols took out the Padres' pitcher Chris Young (now on the Mets) and their catcher when sliding at home in the same inning--I think Young was out for much of the season after being hit by a line drive. I forget how long the catcher was on the disabled list. Pujols wasn't playing dirty--it just happened.
