LOL...I know. I listen to WEEI (Boston Sports Radio) every day. Since the ALCS game 7 of last year, the main topic has been the Red Sox. Even when the Patriots are dominating the gridiron, the callers would not leave the Red Sox alone. So if that call had gone through as it was originally, I would have had to listen to them again every day for a full year. They'll find something to bitch about anyways. Boston fans don't really need a reason to bitch about the Sox.
Here's the rule (from an article I was reading on redsox.com: http://tinyurl.com/3u476 "While contact may occur between a fielder and runner during a tag attempt, a runner is not allowed to use his hands or arms to commit an obviously malicious or unsportsmanlike act," states the rule. "Such as grabbing, tackling, intentionally slapping at the baseball, punching, kicking, flagrantly using his arms or forearms ... to commit an intentional act of interference unrelated to running the bases." Disappointing to see such a childish act from a superstar, though. So much for Yankee Pride....
