What was Richie Sexson thinking? If you haven’t seen the video of Sexson charging the mound, check out the video at the end of this entry.

After Seattle Mariners starter Felix Hernandez hit two Texas Rangers hitters, former Boston Red Sox prospect and current Ranger Kason Gabbard did what any normal pitcher would do.
