Yesterday’s baseball game between the New York Yankees and the Boston Red Sox ended in a benches-clearing brawl. Both teams are pointing fingers at each other, but who’s really to blame?
The players involved in the fight
The players involved in the Baseball Fight yesterday were Yankees catcher Austin Romine and Tigers slugger Miguel Cabrera The altercation began when Cabrera took exception to a pitch that Romine threw behind him, and the two began exchanging words. Cabrera then shoved Romine, and Romine responded by throwing a punch at Cabrera. Both players were ejected from the game, and the benches cleared as both teams came onto the field.
It remains to be seen whether any further disciplinary action will be taken against either player, but it’s clear that both are at fault for their role in the fight.
The managers of the teams involved in the fight
The managers of the teams involved in the fight are to blame. They did not control their players and allowed them to get out of hand.
The fans who were in attendance at the game
The fans who were in attendance at the game are to blame for the fight that broke out between the two teams. It was reported that beer cans and other debris were thrown on the field, and that one fan even rushed the field. This led to players from both teams to start fighting, and it quickly escalated into a benches-clearing brawl.
It’s unfortunate that this incident occurred, but it’s clear that the fans who were in attendance are at fault. They should have been respectful of the players and the game, and they should have behaved in a way that didn’t lead to such a destructive outcome.
The umpires who were officiating the game
While it is still unclear exactly what sparked the brawl between the San Francisco Giants and Los Angeles Dodgers yesterday, there is no doubt that the umpires who were officiating the game are to blame.
In the bottom of the seventh inning with the Dodgers leading 6-3, Giants pitcher Hunter Strickland hit Dodgers outfielder Yasiel Puig with a pitch. Puig responded by throwing his bat and helmet at Strickland, and both benches cleared.
While it is understandable that Puig would be upset after being hit by a pitch, he should have been restrained by his teammates or coaches before he did anything that would get him ejected from the game. Instead, it was left to the umpires to deal with the situation, and they did not handle it well.
The umpires should have immediately ejected Puig from the game for throwing his bat and helmet. Instead, they allowed him to stay in the game and he ended up hitting a three-run home run in the eighth inning to put the Dodgers ahead 9-3.
After the game, Giants manager Bruce Bochy said that he was “disappointed” in how the umpires handled the situation. It is clear that they did not do a good job of diffusing a potentially dangerous situation, and they are ultimately to blame for yesterday’s fight between two prominent Major League Baseball teams.

The media
The media is partly to blame for yesterday’s baseball fight The way the story was reported sensationalized the event and made it seem like a bigger deal than it actually was. This can be frustrating for fans who just want to enjoy the game, but it’s important to remember that the media is just doing its job.
The players’ union
The players’ union is to blame for the baseball fight that occurred yesterday. The union has not been properlyNegotiating with the team owners and has not been able to come to an agreement on a new Collective Bargaining Agreement This has led to a lot of tension between the players and the owners, and yesterday’s fight was just a manifestation of that tension.
The fans who were watching the game on television
Some fans who were watching the game on television took to social media to blame the fans in attendance for the fight. They argued that if the fans had not been cheering and jeering so loudly, the players would not have been so agitated and the fight would not have happened.
The stadium security personnel
It’s unclear exactly what sparked the fight between players and fans at yesterday’s baseball game but one thing is for sure: the security personnel at the stadium were to blame.
According to eyewitnesses, the security guards did nothing to stop the fighting or to escorts the fans out of the stadium. In fact, one security guard was even seen taking pictures of the fighting with his phone.
This is unacceptable behavior for stadium personnel, who are supposed to be trained in handling these kinds of situations. The security guards at yesterday’s game clearly failed in their duties, and as a result, the safety of both players and fans was put at risk.
The police
The police are to blame for the baseball fight that occurred yesterday. The fans were getting out of control and the police did not do anything to stop it. The players were also to blame because they did not try to stop the fans from fighting.
