Nyjer Morgan is a prick.
The Washington Nationals outfielder has been suspended seven games by Major League Baseball for throwing a ball into the stands at Citizen’s Bank Park on Saturday. In the bottom of the 8th inning, Morgan, who was jawing with a fan in right field, faked like he was going to casually toss a ball into the stands, then apparently chucked it at the fan he was arguing with. He missed and hit another person in the face. A Facebook user seems to confirm the accusation:
best part of the Phils game: guy in front of us getting in the head hit by a ball Nyjer Morgan threw into the crowd...if i had been a little quicker that ball would have been mine
Don't worry dude, he's fine.
We got a .gif after the jump, but it cuts away before you see him throw the ball. Trying to get more video.
He’ll be back in Philly on September 17th. Who’s got batteries? (kidding)
He is the most annoying Nat.

Kyle, this isn't the video per se, but look at what a douche this uploader named "NatsTown2K10" writes with his video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xhX59oRZhRs :
"Nyjer is one of the most personable players on the Nationals team. I'm sure his actions in Philadelphia were prevoked [sic]. Heckling of any player on or off the field is a violation of the 'Fan Code of Conduct'. The fans involved in this unfortunate incident should be band [sic] for life from attending any MLB games [sic]."
And, perhaps Nyjer has too short of a temper and wasn't "prevoked" all that much. Look how easily he gets miffed by muffing a fly ball:

From what I understand (via The Fanatic), he was, indeed, being heckled... although reports conflict. Some people are saying the guy was saying racial things to him (hint... what if you "mispronounced" his first name?), and some people are saying they were making fun of his high socks...
Two VERY different scenarios. If the guy was really calling him N****r Morgan, than maybe he got what he deserved... but if they guy was really only making fun of his socks, throwing a ball at him is kind of ridiculous.

He better hope they don't have a 'battery night' the next time he comes to philly.

The more sensitive you are, the more likely you are to be brutalized, develop scabs and never evolve. Never allow yourself to feel anything because you always feel too much. Do you think so?
