Fosse still feels effects from 1970 All-Star game collision

OAKLAND, Calif. — Ray Fosse's body still aches, 45 years later.

He never did fully recover physically from one of the most infamous plays in All-Star Game history, when Pete Rose bulled him over in 1970 to score the winning run in the 12th inning at Riverfront Stadium.

With the game back in Cincinnati on Tuesday, Fosse is reminded again of that moment. Over and over. Not that he needs another look.
