What? NBA can't police itself without killing each other, but baseball does by throwing 90+ mph baseballs at the batter's head??

He avoided the consequences, by not starting the brawl.

No one cares about single-A baseball. Certainly not worth getting all up in arms over. This story will get blown up for the reasoning LJ provided.
I'm not gonna argue this any further with you. I've read the two pages and know you're fully supportive of the rules. I understand that athletes across the spectrum are full of themselves. I guess what I dislike is that if you take the NBA for example. If you've been watching, you know the Heat offense thrives on Wade and Lebron getting fast-break points. And every time they get a steal and go dunk it, it irritates me like it does most everyone else on here. These guys are showboating too. But you'll never see one of the Mavs player chase them down and intentionally take our their legs, leading to a nasty spill and a broken back. That's because in basketball it'd be consider a cheap, dirty, and unnecessary play. Probably the same could be said about football, soccer, etc. There's no unwritten rules stating that if you showboat and show someone up, it may cost you your head. The whole premise just seems ridiculous. Any other sport, if you get shown up, then you play better so it doesn't happen again. But in baseball, the ethics state you need to protect your image by throwing a ball at someone's head? Why can't he just get on a hot streak and strike out a bunch of players instead?? But hey, that's baseball I guess.
