Reds outfielder Tommy Pham slapped Giants outfielder Joc Pederson on Friday night, leading to one of the strangest sports feuds in recent memory. Now, we can see the moment that began the excitement.
The video shows Pham approaching Pederson and one other member of the Giants, and slapping Pederson before both teams converged to separate the two.
Pham was suspended three games for the action. He is missing the Reds entire series with the Giants.
The issue between the team seemed to stem from whether Pederson properly used Injured Reserve on Jeff Wilson despite Wilson not actually being on IR.
