Bench clearing brawl!!!!

We went to the Florida Gator baseball game tonight. Ryan got tickets through his work...they always give away tickets to Gator sporting events to their employees. We get there and as we sat down in our seats I said to Ryan, "I want to see a bench clearing brawl tonight!" :-) So, we sit and watch the game in the freezing cold (it was like 58 degrees with a light wind so it was pretty cold out there) and we saw three - count them...THREE run downs! The Gators caught three guys in run downs while we were there. That's just crazy. We also saw two home runs by the Gators....and....ONE BENCH CLEARING BRAWL!!!!!!! I was so excited! :-) Their pitcher pitched the ball and it seemed aimed right at the chin of our batter. Needless to say our batter didn't take it well. If you listen to my side of the story you will hear that the batter ever so calmly began to stroll over to the pitcher's mound to ask the pitcher to please not aim at his chin again. :-) In actuality the batter took a few steps towards the mound with his bat still in his hand and that was all it took. Their outfield came charging in so our bench cleared which then caused Duquesne's bench to clear and then they were going at it. I grabbed my camera to catch the moment that my wish came true tonight! :-)
We ended up leaving at the top of the 7th inning because by then it was 9:00pm and I have plenty that I need to do tonight before tomorrow morning when I'll be leaving to go to Jacksonville to help Debs out with getting some stuff ready for her wedding that is in TWO MONTHS!!
