In that era, a lot of catchers had to stand their ground when a runner came home. The best of catchers, like Johnny Bench, held onto the baseball no matter what. That’s when men were men and girls were girls. You get ejected for doing this now.

At least Johnny Bench never got the "Ray Fosse Treatment" courtesy of Rose.

Pete Rose once said in regards to what he would consider to be a perfect All-Star game: 'I go 4 for 4, the NL wins and nobody gets hurt.

I wonder what Ray Fosse thinks regarding that definition.
