So you know that Royals-White Sox brawl video we posted?
Yeah, about that. Chicago White Sox Manager Ozzie Guillen let out the so-called “dirty little secret” that managers sometimes give the thumbs up on hit-by-pitch revenge.
This tidbut surprised—let’s see, we need to check our calculations . . . hold on a sec . . . almost done—yes, that’s it: Absolutely no one.
Yep – I’m surprised such a big deal was made about this. Having coached 18 & Under teams and even at the college level, I’ve given the thumbs up more than once. It’s policing the game. Sometimes it just needs to be done.
Agreed! And it goes on in every team sport, at every level, in one form or another.
