Okay, we get it!

[edit]

Rose knocked Fosse bum over teakettle, Fosse’s shoulder was significantly injured as a result, and Rose was criticized for playing too roughly. We’re smart enough to grasp that, and the fact that it was an unfortunate incident, without extra details. Talking about Fosse “writhing in pain” while the National League players supposedly ignored him while celebrating (I’ve seen the footage several times, and it looks like the players, including Rose, at least look at him. There was certainly callousness among the NL players, but they weren’t entirely unconcerned by any means) is unnecessary and makes it sound like a civil case rather than an article. You don’t go to the Lou Piniella article and see something like “Piniella argued with the umpire while the grounds crew looked on in concern and terror.” Just keep it straight and to the point. Like I said, we’re smart enough to grasp what happened without extra details. We’re not a bunch of idiots who sit around in the back yard drooling and eating crickets.

That was the way they played the game in those days. Also, the NL players really took the All-Star Game seriously back then. Nowadays a player of Rose's stature would be subbed out in the 5th inning. Back then, (the 60's & 70's) guys like Rose, Joe Morgan or Wille Mays often played the whole game. Back in '65 Juan Marichal started and pitched 3 full innings. That doesn't happen anymore.
