I was wondering about home plate as well. I wonder what the call is on that if the catcher started the confrontation, as opposed to him just wandering to the dugout without touching it. It seems like if the catcher is blocking him, that's on the catcher since you're not allowed to tackle in baseball.

To give a little backstory, the pitcher hit Gomez (the hitter) in the leg back in June. Gomez, being the complete psychopath that he is, never forgot that. So when he hit the homerun, he decided to jog very slowly around the bases yapping at the pitchers and the fielders the entire time. That's why the catcher stepped in front of the plate.
Just on principle, Gomez should be thrown at for at least his next 10 at bats.
