Perhaps, I missed something. From the one latenight replay I managed to see, it appeared the runners toes made contact with {standing} shortstop right below his knee. I also thought it occurred past the 2B bag. I understand the runner's right to break up a DP safely. But metal spikes are dangerous and the runner had no business breaking up a DP the way he did. IMHO, the runner carries a responsibility not to injure the guy while sliding; as he does not showing up a guy while running the bases after hitting a HR. I was hoping to read more info about the play from someone who saw more than my quick glance at the TV. Perhaps, I may be exaggerating what I saw and I realize someone else may either agree or disagree with my quick assessment.
