Baseball brawl features barbaric bat attack

A game got out of hand in the Cuban baseball league Monday night leading to this outrageous moment—one of the wildest things we’ve ever seen in a baseball brawl.

Um, bro, that’s attempted murder.

Here’s Baseball America with the details:

After Eriel Sanchez led off the seventh inning with a home run to give Matanzas a 3-0 lead, Villa Clara righthander Freddy Alvarez hit the next batter, Yasiel Santoya, in the head with a fastball. Two batters later, 17-year-old Victor Mesa Jr., the son of Matanzas manager Victor Mesa, got hit by a 2-0 fastball.

That’s when chaos erupted. The pitch didn’t get much of Mesa, but his momentum trying to get out of the way took him back to his dugout down the third base line. Meanwhile, Demis Valdes, who wasn’t even in the game, came off the bench charging the mound with a bat in his hands.

I mean, he gets a lifetime ban for that right?
