Wild view of the Angels and Mariners brawl this past Sunday
A brawl -- an actual brawl erupted between the Seattle Mariners and Los Angeles Angels Sunday in Anaheim. There were a pretty good number of punches thrown and lots of drama that meant baseball didn't resume for quite a while. Eventually, there were eight ejections -- six players and both managers.
In all, a combined 12 members of the Angels and Mariners received suspensions and undisclosed fines. A translator for the Angels was also among those who received discipline.
It all started Saturday night, actually. A pitch sailed close to Mike Trout's head on its way to the backstop in the ninth inning. The Angels star was unhappy and said as much after the game.
"If you can't pitch inside, don't pitch inside," Trout said (via ocregister.com). "If you're going to hit me, hit me in the ribs. Don't hit me in the head. I don't know if that's the intent, but anything at the head, you don't do that."
Here is an incredible view of the brawl, from very close to the action.
