Pittsburgh Pirates
Droop Worker Over Wild Fistfight
Printed
A Pittsburgh Pirates recreation day worker has been suspended by the crew … after he was seen on video getting concerned in a fully insane fistfight with a fan at PNC Park.
The violent scrum occurred on Sunday — because the Buccos had been taking up the Padres.
So final week the Pirates had a drunken underage fool fall from the stands into the sphere. Cracked his cranium.
Final night time we had an usher beat up a fan in entrance of ladies and kids. Then takes his belt off and proceeds to whip the fan with it.
Think about if the usher was white… pic.twitter.com/2HoMdLS6v8

According to CBS, the altercation went down after a Pirates worker — who was sporting a white polo and tan pants — tried to drag two males away from a tiff that they had been having with a close-by concession employee.
You possibly can see within the video from the scene — the Pittsburgh official and one of many males obtained nose-to-nose with each other … earlier than fists began flying.
The Pirates supporter ate a bevy of punches … and wanted a second to get well. He then took off his hat, glasses and jacket, seemingly in an effort to get a extra honest struggle going.
Folks then intervened to attempt to break issues up … however as soon as the fan began spitting blood on the employee — all hell broke free once more.
Take a look at the footage, the Pirates worker ripped off his belt and smacked the person with it repeatedly.
Mercifully, cooler heads finally prevailed … and police confirmed as much as take a report.
The Pirates known as their employee’s conduct “completely unacceptable” in a press release they launched on Monday … writing, “he was instantly suspended.”
“This incident is presently beneath additional investigation,” they added.
That is, in fact, the second notable incident at PNC Park this month — simply final week, a fan fell from a railing and sustained vital accidents … although, fortunately, he seems to be doing better.
