And if a player gets knocked unconscious on the play, well, that's what they get for putting their head there.

In both plays the runner was safe. In one play, the catcher is uninjured.

I don't know what plays you're looking at, but you're wrong.

The picture you linked ended up with Mays safe, after initially being called out.

Corrales let go of the ball because he was knocked out.

(Original Caption) San Francisco Giant's Willie Mays collides with Phillies Pat Corrales at home plate here, on a play in which Allen threw wild past 1st and Callison retrieved the ball and threw it to the plate. Umpire Augie Donatelli first called Mays out, then reversed call as Corrales who was knocked out on the play dropped the ball.

Perhaps you are thinking of a different play.


I was at the Mays game, He was never called safe. The writer got it wrong.

You may have been there, but it sure looks like your memory is off or you were on an alternate Earth.

The play-by-play shows Mays as safe, scoring a run on the error by Corrales, with Corrales replaced at Catcher.

Top of the 1st inning; Here's the description from SABR (dot) org:
Quote
Corrales was involved in a memorable collision at home plate on July 10. In the first inning of a game at Connie Mack Stadium, the San Francisco Giants' Willie Mays slid into Corrales, who was blocking the plate, knocking Corrales out and gashing Corrales' neck with his spikes. "Mays was the only guy I've ever seen who seemed to be faster sliding than running," said Giants broadcaster Lon Simmons. "That was in Philadelphia and the fans are pretty rough there. Willie stayed down on the ground. He pretended he was hurt, too, so the fans wouldn't get on his case so bad."2 Corrales was removed from the game, and Mays, hurt or not, did not take the field for the bottom of the inning. Corrales was back in action five days later, starting a game at Cincinnati and going 3-for-3.

He either pretended he was injured or he really was injured - the author on SABR was unsure.

Sorry for the initially partial post - had I done it right, you would have read it to start with!

This is the play described by Arnold Hano:
In Mays' MVP year of 1965, Mays hit Phillies catcher Pat Corrales so hard on a play at the plate that they both ended up in the hospital... Mays had a seriously bruised hip, and Corrales had a mild concussion. (He was taken off the field on a stretcher). Gene Mauch said after the game "The guy comes into home four feet in the air, kicks my catcher in the face, and still manages to touch home plate. He'll end up limping to the Hall of Fame."

Corrales said (from his hospital bed) ... "It was a clean play... but I've never been hit so hard in my life"

The Red Sox looked flat. Their starter looked like the rookie he is.

Only consolation, at the moment, is that the Yankees are losing about as badly, but taking longer to do it.

But after last night, "at the moment" is an important distinction.

Why would the Yankees losing be a "consolation" to the Red Sox?  The team beating them gained ground on the Sox and the Red Sox should be more worried about Toronto than the Yankees..  I'd say the Red Sox' consolation would be the Orioles losing. Fourth place is still in sight!!!

This week, the Baltimore Orioles passed the LA Dodgers for 7th place all time!

And there is a good chance that before the season is out, Arizona will finally pass Tampa Bay.

Yankees' lead is down to 8 games.

Sox and Os have 18 hits apiece after 7.5 innings. 15-10 for the Orioles. No 1-2-3 innings, yet.
