First 5 of next year from what I read.
And it was not 'one' of the first punches. It was *the* first.
He stuffed his hand in Winkler's face *as* Winkler was still walking towards the Angels dugout and jawing.
My fave was the guy on the Angels when they were emptying out of the dugout. One dude tried to hop the barrier, misjudged and face plopped on the field.
Close second was the 50-ish year old Angels coach bear hugging a Mariner player on the ground keeping him tied up --- the Mariner kept trying to break out it and looked pretty irked at looked like he was going to swing at his bear hugger. He looks around and sees this 50 year old, balding, chubbier guy huffing and puffing trying to keep him in place, and then decides not to get aggressive with this chubby, balding guy clinging onto him. Probably being razzed today by his fellow jocks for being tied up by an oldster who was far, far, far, far less fit.
I probably look like that coach when I go to the workouts these days. Chubby, balding, panting in a major league sucking wind type way, and bug-eyed.
