clearing the benches...

I admit it. I love the drama of clearing the benches. It's one of the only exciting events that occur during baseball games. It doesn't hurt that it usually makes for better pictures too.

After the typical nonsense of hitting batters and then throwing people inside, Richie Sexson was apparently sick of it all and decided to charge the mound, throwing his helmut at the pitcher in the process.

What followed was the benches clearing. All very exciting stuff when your team is the worst team in baseball.
