Richie Sexson Charges Mound, Starts Brawl
Published 5/9/2008 by Stephen Kersey at Knuckle Curve - Baseball News
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. Texas Rangers pitcher Kevin Gabbard threw a pitch that was a tad high on the 6-foot-8 Sexson. The pitch didn’t seem too malicious, yet Sexson sprints to the mound.

OK, had to get something up on this. Just watched this highlight from last night's Rangers/Mariners game over at Deadspin and, quite honestly, I am still trying to figure out if I'm completely missing something. Briefly, I'm all for a good bench-clearing brawl. I don't want to see ...

Like the Thunderdome Tonight the Texas Rangers and Seattle Mariners will box. And play a little baseball. Less than a week after Richie Sexon flipped out and threw a helmet at Kason Gabbard, the Rangers are throwing Vicente Padilla out there and he's so crazy he might throw at the ...
