Mariners Charge First

Whenever a sports event takes place, there is always the thought of their being a fight. Pushing and shoving takes place every game, in hockey after every whistle, football after every down, basketball after every foul. But, in baseball there aren't as many. When there is a fight its always, I hate to say it, but exciting. The first baseball fight took place yesterday in a game between the Texas Rangers and the Seatle Mariners. Rangers pitcher Kason Gabbard threw a high pitch to Richie Sexson. Sexson is 6 foot 8. Sexson threw his bat to the side and charged the mound, all 6-8 of him. He then threw his helmet at Gabbard and tackled him to the ground. The dug outs and bullpens cleared and came on to the field. The game ended with the Mariners on top of the pile literally winning 7 to 3.
