Box Score of the Week (POSTSEASON EDITION)

It's officially the MLB postseason!


Let's check out Game 3 of the 1973 National League Championship Series - Cincinnati Reds at New York Mets


-----------------------------------------


With hit king Pete Rose having passed away just last week, I thought I would feature a memorable postseason game of his. 


In the top of the 5th inning, the Reds' Joe Morgan hit into a seemingly routine 3-6-3 double play. However, lead runner Rose slid in to second base with a hard slide to which Mets' shortstop Bud Harrelson (who also passed in 2024) took exception. The two exchanged punches, resulting in benches clearing. Neither Rose nor Harrelson were ejected.
