BTW, I find this play to be the hypocrisy of MLB.
They claimed to be worried about and were allegedly determined to put an end to these dangerous collisions. So, do they outlaw these types of plays and fine the runner for intentionally plowing into a catcher instead of attempting to touch the plate?
Oh, hell no! They instructed the umpires to enforce an obstruction rule even in cases where obstruction didn't really exist.
