Plays at home plate had long been a part of baseball, but on this day 10 years ago, one of those drew more criticism than usual.
At AT&T Park, Florida Marlins’ utility outfielder Scott Cousins ran over San Francisco Giants’ catcher Buster Posey in the 12th inning to score the winning run as the Marlins held on for a 7-6 victory.
With one out in the top of the 12th on May 25, 2011, Cousins stood at third as Emilio Bonifacio came to the plate for Florida to face San Francisco right-hander Guillermo Mota.
