In case you don’t pay much attention to the rest of the league, there was quite a lively fight between the Cincinatti Reds and Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday, the culmination of multiple grievances concerning inside fastballs and bean balls. Even considering the two team’s storied rivalries and beefs throughout the 70’s and 80’s, this newest chapter is pretty wild and proves that even as much as the game has changed in the last 10 years or so, the tempers and sometimes violent outbursts of baseball players have not changed very much.
We do not condone fighting or violence at LL, and I sincerely hope no one sustained any serious injuries in Tuesday’s brawl.
