That is a gutless, 6 foot 7, .200 hitting, formerly good player

Richie Sexson over reacting after a pitch that is nowhere near him

This video is absolutely rediculous. The Mariners are down 4-0 in the fourth inning and with a stellar record of 14-22, so what does the great Richie Sexson do to turn things around? He over reacts after a pitch from Kason Gabbard is about 2 feet high and 2 feet away from Richie. Richie immediately charges the mound, and instead of throwing the first punch, he throws his helmet at Gabbard, classic. He then attempts to tackle Gabbard, then Gerald Laird comes running full speed tackles richie and jumps on his back in full catcher gear, hilarious. But the best part about this video is the announcer who clearly does not like Richie and calls him a gutless, 6 foot 7, .200 hitting, formerly good player. Which is absolutely true, he did used to be good and now he just kind of hangs around, strikes out and counts his money. This guy used to be one of my favorite players with the Indians and I was irate when they traded him years ago. Check Out His Stats from 1999 to 2006, his home run and rbi totals are good to fantastic, whereas his average and strikeout rate have never been something to be proud of.
Great video, definitely worth watching for a good laugh.
