June 6th, 1999 tempers flared between rivals, the LA Angels (Anaheim at the time) and the Los Angeles Dodgers. Chan Ho Park had knocked down Angels batter Randy Velarde three times earlier in the game. This apparently angered Angels pitcher (and former Dodger) Tim Belcher enough, that when Park laid down a sac bunt and the pitcher fielded it he thumped Park in the chest when tagging him out. Park took exception to the tag, and gestured at Belcher. According to Park, Belcher said some unkind things to him.
