Ask Steve Bartman. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Bartman_incident Though in my opinion, any other person in his place would have done EXACTLY the same thing. You see it all the time in baseball. I hope he's doing well these days.

Using your baseball bat as a weapon. Juan Marichal did this during a baseball game between the San Fransisco Giants and the Los Angeles Dodgers on August 22, 1965; when he struck Dodgers catcher John Roseboro with his baseball bat, the resulting wound to Roseboro's head required 14 stitches to close--and is said to be the most likely reason why Marichal did not get elected to Baseball Hall of Fame during his first four years of eligibility. Only after Roseboro publicly forgave Marichal for that incident did the Baseball Writers of America forgive him, too; Marichal was finally elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1983. espn.go.com/page2/s/list/basebrawl.html en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juan_Marichal
