Crazy Cuban Baseball Player Attacks Pitcher With Bat

Most baseball brawls involve a lot of pushing and shoving, but occasionally there are some that turn into very dangerous incidents. Things escalated quickly during a game in Cuba on Monday night. After Villa Clara pitcher Freddy Alvarez allowed a home run to lead off the seventh inning, which gave Matanzas a 3-0 lead, things took a turn for the worse. Alvarez drilled the next batter in the head with a fastball, and two batters later, the pitcher hit Victor Mesa Jr. The second plunking was enough for Matanzas, and the benches cleared.Luckily, Valdes who wasn't even an active player, missed and although both benches cleared for the brawl, the rest of the game passed without incident once Alvarez was removed from the game.Alvarez was lucky enough to get out of the way, but Valdes caught Villa Clara first baseman Ramon Lunar in the face with the backswing and knocked him to the ground.However, Valdes hit another Villa Clara player, Ramon Lunar, in the face with the backswing knocking him to the ground. Lunar was not seriously injured. He only suffered cuts to his lips and nose according to reporters at the game. Sanctions against Valdes are expected to come down swiftly.
