Pete Rose questions Josh Donaldson’s toughness
MVP candidate Josh Donaldson was forced to leave after taking a knee to the head while breaking up a double-play in the bottom of the fourth inning. Pete Rose was critical of Josh leaving the game “I just don’t understand,” Rose said. “I mean, does everybody know what we’re playing for now? I mean, you get a tweak and you got to leave the game. You get a knee on the head and you’ve got a helmet on and you got to leave the game to go take a test that you pass. I mean, cause you’re a little light-headed? I got light-headed how many times in my career. I still went out there and played. I guess it’s just different from when I played to when they’re playing today, Frank. I can’t see you sliding into second there and leaving the game. I really can’t. And this guy is the MVP.”
