Offerman Incident Brings Back Memories
First of all, sorry it's been awhile since my last post. I did not mean to disappear like that, I've just been busy trying to keep us on track for the playoffs.
I saw the post about Jose Offerman's meltdown. Wow. I've seen a couple helmet tosses at pitchers but I've never seen the batter carrying a bat.
Actually, the best brawl I've ever seen was when I was in AAA. We were in Salt Lake playing Iowa. Brendan Donnelly hit a guy, he was probably 6-5, 230, a big old dude. And Brendan is a big boy too. It was a train wreck at the mound. It was a real brawl, not one of those shoving matches you see. This one lasted 20-30 minutes.
I kind of knew it was going to happen. The guy had hit a couple of home runs off of us and was doing a little bat tossing, jogging around the bases, that kind of stuff so we knew it was coming. I was in the middle of the first pile. There were three different brawls going on at the same time. I got my pants ripped up and had a few bumps on the back of my head from being in the pile.
The worst thing for me was that it was in AAA and I always had a hard time finding pants that fit me there. I ripped my gamers from the knee down, someone must have been kicking me so they got cut up pretty good.
