Rough Play in Dodgertown, March 25, 1969

Who said the Dodger lineup didn’t have any punch?

Outfielder Willie Crawford allegedly broke the nose of rookie
pitcher Mike Strahler after Strahler made a "playful remark" in the
Dodgertown barracks in Vero Beach, The Times reported.  No other
punches were thrown but Strahler reportedly said he would see a lawyer.

Two days later, Crawford visited the ailing pitcher and apologized. He also agreed to pay any medical bills.
