I can't remember the year, but most likely in the early 1960's. Roseboro had done something that Green found unforgivable, like hitting a home run off of him, so at his next at-bat, Green threw at Roseboro's head. On a following pitch, Roseboro laid a bunt down the first base line, hit so that only the pitcher could field it. At the moment that Green bent over to pick up the ball, Roseboro ran into him and sent him sprawling. Roseboro's bat control was simply amazing. He bunted just inside the foul line, hard enough to ensure that he would be running full tilt when he hit Green, but not so hard that the first baseman would field it.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09743266055089319598noreply@blogger.com
