Dayton Dragons Brawl With The Peoria Chiefs
Published 7/25/2008 at FanIQ Blog
Either the heat of summer or the boredom of only hearing about Brett Farve day after day is starting to get to people. First we had a soccer Riot during a not so friendly between West Ham United and the Columbus Crew this past weekend, then Danica Patrick confronted Milka Duno in the pit in Ohio, then on Tuesday night, the WNBA had their own fight night in Detroit. Now we head out to Dayton, Ohio for a brawl between the Dayton Dragons (Single A affiliate of the Reds) and the Peoria Chiefs (Single A affiliate of the Cubs). After a few early bean balls that ...

I live in Dayton. And while the Dayton Dragons are a Reds affiliate, I couldn’t resist noting that there was a huge brawl that involved two former Buccos.

As players started to converge, Chiefs pitcher Julio Castillo threw a ball with full force toward the Dragons dugout. Apparently he missed and hit a fan. Brandon Menchaca leaped on Castillo’s back from behind and then it ...

A pitcher is in a Dayton, Ohio jail this morning, charged with felony assault after a huge brawl broke out in yesterday's Peoria Chiefs-Dayton Dragons Single-A baseball game.

To make matters worse, Castillo missed, and instead hit a fan sitting behind the dugout. It also emptied the Dayton bench and the melee was on. It all started in the 2nd inning when Castillo beaned Dragons ...
