Morgan and Rice Do Some Shoving
- Share via
BOSTON — Joe Morgan, the new manager of the Red Sox, and Jim Rice were involved in an eighth-inning shoving match Wednesday night when Rice was lifted for pinch-hitter Spike Owen with a runner on first base, none out and Boston ahead, 5-4.
“We had a difference of opinion I believe on how the inning should be run,” Morgan said after the Red Sox rallied for a 9-7 victory in 10 innings. “There was a little shoving. I happen to be running this ballclub and that’s the way it’s going to be. That’s all I have to say.”
Rice said: “The man pinch-hit for me, we won the game, and that’s it.”
