Wild Minor-League Brawl Features Pitcher Inexplicably Using Baseball As Weapon
Bryce Harper wasn’t the only baseball player in a fighting mood over Memorial Day weekend.
The Dayton Dragons and West Michigan Whitecaps engaged in a chaotic brawl Sunday during their Single-A Midwest League game. The fracas began when Whitecaps shortstop Daniel Pinero appeared to intentionally step on Dayton baserunner Jose Siri and didn’t end until after the benches cleared and both players were ejected.
A closer look at the video shows West Michigan pitcher Eduardo Jimenez astonishingly using a baseball as a weapon. Jimenez didn’t play in the game, but he took multiple baseballs onto the field during the brawl and fired one into a crowd of Dayton players from just 15 feet away, hitting reliever Jason Stallings.
