Roger Clemons through a fastball inside and SHATTERED Mike Piaza's bat. The top part of the bat flew out toward Clemons. Piaza was headed toward first base on the foul ball and Clemons picked up the part of the bat that flew at hime tossed it toward Piaza. When Clemons tossed the broken piece, it bounced about 15 feet from Piaza and went end-over-end toward him. It probably came within 2 or 3 feet of hitting him. The benches cleared and both players remained in the game.
If I had been calling that game, I would have tossed Clemons! It certainly wasn't Piaza's fault that his bat broke and flew out there toward him.
Anyway, the press is probably going to sensationalize this event and it will be talked about for weeks to come!
