Pretext: Earlier in the game, Felix Hernandez plunked Gerald Laird and Ian Kinsler with fastballs high and tight, hitting them virtually in the same exact
spot.
Texas' Kason Gabbard responds by giving Richie Sexson a high one, but it wasn't anywhere near his head. Sexson was obviously expecting something, as he was bailing out of the batter's box before the pitch reached home plate. Sexson then charges the mound, hilarity ensues.
Here's a YouTube video of the bench-clearing brawl: http://youtube.com/watch?v=Q53svl8pkWM
My favorite part is Richie throwing his batting helmet at Gabbard to get him to duck before tackling him.
