Now, THAT

Is a brawl. Almost hockey-like in its ferocity. Minor-league baseball rocks!

yea, don't think the pitcher

that was arrested – after throwing the baseball into the stands – MISSING the dugout – has much of a future…...

How do you miss the dugout from 15 feet away….. seriously -

Wow. I feel like there’s more backstory to this than we’ve heard, otherwise both teams massively over-reacted. And throwing a ball in a fight at the dugout? And hitting a fan? I’d lay decent odds that’s the last ball he’ll throw in uniform.

Ah

From an article about the brawl:

By that time, the game had already seen a player suffer a broken leg on a collision in the base paths, and another was forced to leave after getting hit in the head on a pitch from Peoria pitcher Julie Castillo .

Wow.
