You Have Failed At Life

And now it's time for another almost weekly feature, You Have Failed At Life.

It's already made the rounds on all the major websites, AA was the first place i saw it, but there was a pretty major brawl in a Minor League baseball game last night between the Dayton Dragons (Cincinnati Reds Class A affiliate) and the Peoria Chiefs (Cubs affiliate).

The brawl resulted in 17 ejections (eventually overruled so they could finish the game. Don't ask.), a broken leg for one of the Peoria players, and oh yeah, a fan taken to the hospital due to an errant throw towards the Dayton dugout by Peoria pitcher Julio Castillo. Check the video below for the thrown ball (you'll see the throw at about the :22 second mark), and then the Dayton player jumping on Castillo's back immediately after.



As stated above, Castillo's throw completely missed the dugout and hit a fan (in the head) in the stands who was there with his wife and kids. Notice where Castillo throws the ball from though: Well inside the third base line. Which means he couldn't have been more than 15-20 feet from the dugout. Some control he has. Hey Rick Ankiel, it may be time to start thinking about another career...

Brawls happen, but because the accuracy of Mr. Castillo was so bad from such a short distance, he has earned this week's award.

Julio Castillo, You Have Failed At Life.

(All kidding aside, we hope the fan who got hit is ok...)
