MLB intends to ban plate collisions

December 11th, 2013

FILE - In this July 14, 1970 file photo, Cincinnati Reds' Pete Rose (14) slams into Cleveland Indians' catcher Ray Fosse to score a controversial game-winning run for the National League team in the 12th inning of the 1970 All-Star game in Cincinnati. Fosse suffered a fractured shoulder in the collision. Looking on are the Reds' third base coach Leo Durocher, and Cincinnati Reds' next hitter Dick Dietz (2). Major League Baseball plans to eliminate home plate collisions, possibly as soon as next season but no later than by 2015. New York Mets general manager Sandy Alderson, chairman of the rules committee, made the announcement Wednesday, Dec. 11, 2013 at the winter meetings. Player safety and concern over concussions were major factors in the decision. (AP Photo/File)LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (AP) — Pete Rose sounded bowled over.
