DAYTON, Ohio -- Fifteen players and both managers were ejected -- and a fan was sent to the hospital -- following a 10-minute, benches-clearing brawl in a Class-A minor league game between affiliates of the Cincinnati Reds and Chicago Cubs on Thursday night.
What I don't understand was why the ejections were reversed. They should have given both teams losses. What a horrific display. Hopefully the fan who got hit is ok. I hope that idiot who threw the ball gets mad prison time.

Gotta agree with you there. The parent clubs of both teams should come down hard on anyone who threw a punch. Of course, you can't punish everyone involved... Some of them were probably trying to break it up.

But that is really disgraceful. And I'm mighty glad one of them wasn't a Twins farm club.
