Zimmer v Girardi: Crossing the line

By Tangotiger

I’m with Zimmer. If anything stands between you and the base, you go through it. If the player didn’t want to get hurt because it’s a spring training game, then don’t stand there. You think they don’t finish checks in hockey exhibition games? The only time you hold back is when it’s your teammate.

And to top it all off, Girardi was a big league catcher. Shame on you.
