So you're not familiar with what Juan Marichal did to John Roseboro?


So I googled it and this is what I found on the ESPN site from just a few months ago (I guess it was the anniversary of the brawl or something) “[Juan] Marichal infamously clubbed Dodgers catcher John Roseboro over the head with a bat, an action never seen before or again on a major league field.”
So, that was a deliberate attack, not a dirty play, although Roseboro admits to provoking Marichal, so THAT part was a dirty play.
But, I note the “before or again”.
In the end they forgave all, I admire men for the way they can do that.
