If you watched New York Yankees closer Aroldis Chapman throw a 101 mph fastball at the head of Michael Brosseau, you might have your own opinion on the matter. The Yankees and Rays have been arch enemies this season, throwing intentional pitches at each other and chirping back-and-forth during and after games. Some might say that Chapman’s pitch was intentional, but one former Yankee is almost sure of it.
Former first baseman for the Yankees Mark Teixeira believes it was on purpose. In fact, he thinks the punishment laid down by the MLB was too soft.
