At the conclusion of every baseball season, highlight reels are littered with footage of bench clearing brawls. Heck, I’m sure somewhere there is an MLB Network intern working on a “Prime 9” dedicated to such a topic.
Now, there’s a story hitting the wires of a 17-year-old forking his buddy teen over a Mickey Mantle baseball card.
Is the world we live in really that violent?
Here’s this from Philly.com (via Deadspin):
A central Pennsylvania teen is facing juvenile charges after he stabbed another teen with a fork in a fight over a baseball card.
The Patriot-News of Harrisburg reports a 17-year-old boy faces assault and harassment charges after jamming the fork into a fellow teen’s arm while they fought over a Mickey Mantle baseball card.
Investigators say the victim suffered minor injuries.
Now, I don’t know where forks rank on the hierarchy of weapons…but I do know that this incident should probably warrant some sort of honorable mention then next time someone cobbles together a “Stupid Baseball Injuries” list.
