Attack of the 6' 2" reliever

·1 min

Former Sox farm-system boy Frank Francisco was arrested for throwing a chair in the stands at some heckling fans, and breaking the nose of an innocent bystander. Weird stuff. FF probably should be arrested - physical retaliation by a player is never the answer - but I really wonder what was said. Something about his Sept 11 birthday? From the ESPN report:

Showalter said reliever Carlos Almanzar had to come out of the game after having an asthma attack because of the incident.

And he had just been named Rookie of the Month too. Talk about throwing it away.
