Stop throwing balls at us. Like, for realsies.
First, Nyjer Morgan chucked a ball at a Phillies fan. Now, J.C. Ramirez, another guy the Phillies acquired in the Lee trade, had a ball thrown at him by a fan.
A man attending a game between the Richmond Flying Squirrels and R-Phils hurled a ball from the second level and hit Ramirez in the leg while he was on the mound. Ramirez is reported to be fine and is considering pressing charges. [really?]
The unidentified fan wrote an apology to Reading Phillies manager Steve Roadcap, but he is banned from all future Flying Squirrels games, and from all events at Richmond ballpark. Oh the horror.
Ramirez is fairing better than his counterpart, Tyson Gillies- he was arrested for possession of cocaine.
