You would have been ejected at the first sign of "fisticuffs" in any game, by any umpire on the planet, with the singular exception of the guy you had that day.

You would have been ejected (and called out) by many of the umpires, if not most, at the point of collision, if it was determined that you plowed him intentionally.

And my league would have likely suspended you for the season (or remainder of the playoffs) for the fisticuffs.

Count yourself amazingly lucky to have even been in the ballpark to come up to bat again.

You HAVE to try to avoid him - if the fielder made you alter your course, he's guilty of obstruction.
