Today, ESPN will not show a stupid, bench clearing melee’ that happened on a baseball field last night. The ESPN audience will not get to see any punches thrown. They will not see a mob of ballplayers wearing different colors shoving each other. The ESPN audience will be deprived the fun of seeing two milling gangs of men shouting at each other, threatening each other, sometimes attacking each other, other times being held back from attacking each other (to their own great relief.)
They will not see it because one man stopped it.
In apparent retaliation for the collision between Jake Marisnick and Jonathon Lucroy last week that resulted in injury to Lucroy, Angels reliever Noe Ramirez threw this pitch straight at the head of Marisnick.
