Saw a situation similar to this a few years ago. Runner at second, line drive hit out to the centerfielder. CF comes up firing as runner tries to score. I’m watching the throw coming in and I hear someone yelling “LOOK OUT!!” I turn to the plate and see the runner just plow into the plate umpire about three feet from the plate. Both go down like a sac of potatoes. Catcher, grabs the throw coming in, walks over to the runner and tags him while the plate umpire, still on his back, rings up the runner. Needless to say, an ejection followed shortly.
