It’s not often that a routine flyout leads to a confrontation and a subsequent dust-up, but nothing that happens in Major League Baseball is ever that ordinary.
In the bottom of the fourth of Monday night’s Braves-Dodgers game, Atlanta’s Marcell Ozuna led off the inning with a routine inning to left field. Harmless enough, right? Well, in this instance, you’d be wrong, as his backswing caught the helmet of Los Angeles catcher, Will Smith.
Smith was none too pleased with what took place and Ozuna seemed confused by his reaction. Smith confronted Ozuna, who threw his hands up as if to apologize and say that he didn’t do it on purpose.
