Yeah, I saw that on SportsCenter this morning. While I don't approve of throwing at people (and even less of ordering someone else to do it), I think this is a little different from the Chaney incident. First of all, it's a difference between pro's vs. collegiate athletes. Second, hitting someone in retaliation is a long-standing tradition in baseball, like it or not. Third, hitting a guy in the backside isn't going to injure the guy; unlike sending a big guy to knock down an opponent on the court.

I would not complain, however, if Ozzie were disciplined somehow.
