maybe it qualifies for the new interference rule, but it sure as hell wasnt dirty
I mean, ok... There certainly have been a lot worse slides in baseball history, I'll concede that.
However, all takeout slides are dirty IMO, especially now that it's been outlawed.
It's similar to hits to the head in hockey. Scott Stevens used to be a god, if he played in this era he'd be considered the dirtiest player in the game.
Have a feeling people will look at guys like Chase Utley the same way.
