Baseball season is well into the home stretch and consequently, tempers occasionally flair. It isn't a direct correlation but throughout the long hot days of summer, occasionally teams and gamers within the thick of the division races (what at one time had been recognized as the Pennant races but since every league now has three divisions and a "Wild Card," the terms need to be updated slightly) get a little angry with every other. Particularly within the head-to-head games between initial and second place teams Recently, the St Louis Cardinals and also the Cincinnati Reds had a fairly standard baseball brawl. A lot of pushing and shoving went on, even though no real punches had been thrown. The brawl apparently started simply because the Cincinnati second baseman Brandon Phillips, spoke out towards the media on how he dislikes the Cardinals and has no friends on the group. Even although the umpires most likely could have ejected half a dozen gamers from every group, they wound up only ejecting the two managers. There's etiquette to baseball brawls. Even although gamers have access towards the baseball bats, which might be a pretty lethal weapon, they don't go right after every other with bats. It isn't like the disgruntled fan that picks up his bat while listening towards the game out in his garage and destroys the garage door with it. That fan could be described as just a little overzealous and right after he has destroyed his garage door, he's most likely abashed about it and quite embarrassed to need to tell his spouse what he's just done. If his spouse wasn't house, he may even try to fake things and pretend it occurred by mistake somehow (although it would take some serious tap dancing to convince a spouse that the harm occurred other than with the baseball bat - particularly if she is able to match wood chips (if it was a wooden bat) or the paint scheme of the garage or bat (if it's a metal bat). But whether the fan admits what he has done to his spouse or tries to hide it, the only harm he has done is towards the garage door so he can grab his yellow pages and call his local garage door service business to send the garage door repairman out to fix the doorway. Or if he has damaged the doorway badly sufficient, just go ahead and have a new garage door installed. It's after all, the home stretch of the baseball season, for the gamers and also the fans.
