Sure they get upset with "bodyline" ... and even more upset when the pitcher takes a shot at someone's head ... but they don't bitch and whine to the umpire, or, heaven forbid, write a letter to the Times; the batter heads to the mound to beat the ever-living shlt out of the pitcher .... the benches clear ... a massive, and usually entertaining, brawl occurs ... and then we go back to the game.
