That's what I meant. Slapping the plate was a bit out of line, but not even close to deserving an ejection.

I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for the law getting involved. Ed Farmer promised he'd take criminal action against Al Cowens. Nothing came of that.

For those of you who don't know the story, Ed Farmer hit Al Cowens with a pitch May 8, 1979. Cowens jaw was broken. The next year Cowens hit a ball to shortstop and went directly after Farmer. Cowens got a seven game suspension. Farmer never filed charges. That was also a White Sox home game.
