Rose: You Can't Eliminate Collisons At Plate 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Fri Nov 1, 2013 4:35 pm

Pete Rose doesn't believe Major League Baseball can legislate home plate collisions out of the game.


In the most famous home plate collision in history, Pete Rose barreled through Ray Fosse to score the winning run in the 1970 All-Star Game.


"You can't eliminate that. If the catcher blocks the plate, that's what is going to happen," Rose said on the "Olbermann" show. "In the case with myself and Ray Fosse, he had the plate blocked. I started to slide head-first. And if I slide, I'm going to break both collar bones."
