I abhor violence and cannot understand why people turn to throwing a punch or kicking out before trying every other possible solution. But maybe this explains that social trend to some extent. If baseball players can’t help themselves then why should the rest of us?
The Boston Red Sox and Detroit Tigers were in the middle of a game when one of the Tigers’ pitcher Rick Porcello’s pitches hit Red Sox batsman Kevin Youkilis on the shoulder. He reacted to this rather badly.
Youkilis launched himself at Porcello and threw his helmet at him. Porcello reacted by, well, running away, but when Youkilis grabbed him Porcello managed to twist him and throw him to the ground.
As is usually the case in baseball, a huge ruckus involving both teams then ensued. Both Youkilis and Porcello were thrown out of the game, which the Red Sox ending up winning 7-5.
Utterly pointless but it makes for good viewing while eating your breakfast.
