I believe it was shoulder to shoulder and if it wasn't, any contact with the head was created from however the catcher ended up turning. It certainly didn't appear that Gamel was aiming for any particular spot. And turning a 4 run game into a 5 run game would've been nice right now. I liked taking the chance there. You have Carlos Lee, a guy with a flaccid arm, running with his momentum away from home plate, having to try to spin around and make a good throw, a throw which would have the catcher looking in the opposite direction the runner is coming from, making it more difficult for him to turn and make the tag.
