Barry Larkin's throw was wide of the base and Nick Esasky had to pull his foot off the bag to catch the ball; the ball beat Wilson to the base; 1B umpire Dave Pallone made a delayed call, waiting until Wilson crossed the bag; and Howard Johnson scored from 2B while Esasky argued the call; Reds manager Pete Rose ran out to argue; Rose put his finger in Pallone's face and Pallone reacted by doing the same to Rose, who pushed the umpire; Pallone ejected Rose and turned to walk away; Rose shoved Pallone from the back; the other umpires ran to help; fans threw trash on the field and the game was delayed 14 minutes; when Pallone went back to 1B, fans threw more items onto the field and John Franco refused to pitch; Pallone left the field and did not finish the game, with 2B umpire John Kibler moving to 1B; after the game, Rose had a small bruise on his left cheek and claimed that Pallone caused it by scraping his face during the argument; Rose was suspended for 30 days and fined $10,000
