17-4 since 2001
A brawl in a minor league game at Dayton last night. 17 ejections overall after the brawl was done. I can't ever recall hearing about 17 ejections, but quite honestly, ALL OF THEM very deserved. Eventually they had to reverse the ejections or else there wouldn't have been enough position players to continue the game. This is by far the nastiest brawl i've seen in professional baseball. Especially the pitcher who throws a ball as hard as he can into the Dayton dugout, and the ball end up hitting a fan who had to be rushed to the hospital.

Fan goes to hospital, 17 ejected after minor league brawl

ESPN.com news services

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.

The ejections were reversed by the league president George Spelius and the game was completed with Dayton winning 6-5.

The fan was taken to the hospital after being hit by a ball thrown by Peoria (Cubs) pitcher Julio Castillo, who was throwing at the Dayton (Reds) dugout but missed during the first-inning melee between Midwest League teams.

The fan, who remains unidentified, was treated at Miami Valley Hospital and released, said hospital spokeswoman Nancy Thickel. She didn't know the extent of the fan's injuries.

Castillo was arrested and faces one count of felonious assault. He is in the Montgomery County Jail and has a court appearance Friday.

After a Peoria player was hit in the top of the first, Castillo hit two batters in the bottom half -- one in the head. The second hit batsmen by Castillo, Angel Cabrerra, made an aggressive slide into second to break up a double play. Castillo followed that by throwing his next pitch up-and-in to the next Dayton batter, prompting Dayton manager Donnie Scott to complain to the home plate umpire. Interim Peoria manager Carmelo Martinez -- filling in for Ryne Sanberg -- came onto the field to join the discussion.


The two managers began arguing, and when Martinez pushed Scott, the benches emptied.

Dayton shortstop Zack Cozart had to leave the game after being hit in the head with a pitch and Peoria second baseman Gian Guzman went out with a broken left leg, the Dayton Daily News reported.

During an hour-long delay, the teams protested the ejections by phone to league president George Spelius, saying they didn't want pitchers playing in the outfield to complete the game.

Spelius will take appropriate action once video footage of the game has been reviewed, Dayton general manager Gary Mayse said in a statement.

A telephone message left by The Associated Press left for Reds general manager Walt Jocketty, who attended the game, was not immediately returned.

Seems like it was crazy...Justin Reed the Dragons CF was beating some ass...There were pictures and he was all over the place, and taking on the other team...It was best when Menchacca took out the pitcher after he threw the ball into the stands...

Can you even begin to guess how much this fan is going to sue for?

Go to a game for entertainemnt, and get hit int he face by a picher trying to launch a fastball into the dugout to hurt opposing players?

I'm not gonna lie, assuming the gu will be OK, I wish that was me. I'd end up owning a minor-league team.

Dayton Brawl

I was at the game last night and it was unbelieveable.

First inning. Pitch to the head. Dayton player is down for 15 minutes.

two other players hit.

Soon after two Illinois payers collide and one leaves with a broken leg.

The the brawl for for 15 minutes. This guy just walks up after the push and slings the ball at the crowd.

Then later an IL player loses the bat and it hits two kids in the crowd.

It was like a battle zone.

Why was the ump letting the managers argue with each other? That's a recipe for disaster.

Say what you want about the players fighting and how it has no place in baseball or anywhere else - that piece of shit who threw the ball into the stands deserved to get his ass beat and I'm glad they responded.

Trust me, you don't want the injury that goes with the corresponding money.
