Sports in 1965 - On August 25, 1965, in one of baseball’s nastier incidents, pitcher Juan Marichal of the San Francisco Giants clubbed a member of the Los Angeles Dodgers with a bat. Who was that unfortunate player?
The correct answer is 'John Roseboro'
Juan Marichal, at bat, thought that catcher John Roseboro’s return throw to pitcher Sandy Koufax was too close to his head and turned around and attacked the catcher. Roseboro was badly bloodied, but got away with a concussion. Marichal’s unseemly act damaged his reputation for years and slowed his eventual election to the Hall of Fame. Koufax pitched a perfect game later that season and then led the Dodgers to a World Series victory. Tommy Davis was out of the lineup most of the season with a broken ankle, while Frank Howard (Marichal would have thought twice in such case) had been traded away to the Washington Senators the previous year.
