The boys of summer need to grow up

In a minor league brawl, pitcher Julio Castillo threw a ball - as hard as he could - towards the opposing teams dug out. It ended up missing that dugout, went into the stands, and hit an onlooker.

Castillo was arrested and is going to be charged with felonious assault.

Meanwhile, if you watch the video...it was a heckuva lot worse than the WNBA brawl, every player was involved in it - as happens whenever there is a benches clearing brawl in baseball... so much testosterone going on you could cut a knife with it.

And of course, if any player does NOT get involved in that brawl, he'd be branded a coward and would definitely never play again. But those who do get into the brawls, even if they hurt someone else, are probably heroes and their jobs are safe...
