Not in MLB?

Sportsmanship, as opponents carry player around the bases:

If there’s a youtube of Moises Alou, watch it, as he’s rounding first base as his bone cracked and was sticking out of his leg, and he’s writhing on the ground in pain, as Gregg Jefferies the 1B was so disgusted by what he saw, he had to walk away… after of course going over to put the tag on Alou.  To me, it was a despicable act by Jefferies. 

You have college girls who could have saved themselves a run, but didn’t.  And you have Jefferies, who sets aside sportsmanship in the name of winning.  The question is: what would you do?  Bonus: what would you do if this was Game 7?

Glove-slap: Neyer.
