WATCH: Oakland A's Stephen Vogt Survives Epic Collision at the Plate With Tampa Bay Rays Steven Souza Jr.

MLB decided a season or two ago that they did not like guys trying to run over catchers at the plate. Yeah, the play does kind of scream injury for the catchers, but what is a base runner supposed to do when he fails to beat the ball home? Turn around and run back to third only to be nabbed in a run down? No! He has to run over the catcher.

The play has not been totally banned so when Steven Souza Jr. saw Stephen Vogt catch the ball he knew what he had to do.



Better luck next time Souza [if the video doesn't work go here].
