Today I believe there is a good chance a DA would file charges of assault with a deadly weapon. There were never any criminal charges filed. The point is that Marichal had flattened two Dodgers earlier in the game by knocking them down with pitches because they had gotten hits off of him. He had to be hospitalized and had a huge knot in his head and needed stitches to close the wound. The latter then went berserk and struck Roseboro on the head( no helmet was worn since he had taken off his mask). Marichal said something to Roseboro and Roseboro stood up and faced Marichal. Marichal was batting and Koufax threw a fastball at his head. Hall Of Fame pitcher Juan Marichal of the Giants hit Dodger catcher Johnny Roseboro over the head with a bat. HK I have never seen anything in person in baseball that was prosecuted as a crime but I did see an incident in 1965 on television that likely would have been prosecuted today. JP I think the starting point has to be this: have you ever seen anything like your plot in real life, either as a baseball fan or as a prosecutor? Following is the email exchange we had this week: I wanted to know where this particular story came from (it’s a very inventive plot but could have been one of a thousand courtroom novels), and how he went about turning concept into reality. It’s rated four and a half stars, with 150 reviews. You can find the book, in Kindle and paperback editions, on Amazon.
I had the pleasure of reading it before publication, and I read it again before I interviewed Harold this week.
It has ranked #1 in baseball and in sports psychology, and it’s a good read. HAROLD KASSELMAN’S FIRST NOVEL has been in the top 10% of Kindle paid books for a solid year - no small accomplishment.
