Remember the days when off the field activity often stayed off the radar? Let a low level prospect get into a bar fight today and it’s on the national media’s radadr within an hour.

I agree about if your drunk AND start a fight, just STFU and go home. With that said, there’s no proof that Mack was the instigator here. In fact, Gant was held liable (read, responsible) in court, although without monetary damages. Could it be a case here of 2 drunk dudes, being dicks?

The Mack family has never forgiven the Braves for 1914. History is a bitch.

Something you wanna tell us Craig? First you talk about liking Dan Uggla’s arms and now you post this shirtless Ron Gant picture? Looks like something I’d find blown up of your bedroom wall 15 years ago. Are you jealous that Mack got to grab his crotch?

Ron Gant is among a group of people that I consider as the last on Earth I’d pick a fight with. This group includes (now) Dan Uggla, The T800 & T1000 Terminators, & Milla Jovovich (among many others). Anyone starting fight with the a guy built like Gant should count themselves as lucky to be in possession of a full set of teeth. Anyone trying to crotch punch Gant should probably count themselves as lucky to still be in possession of an attached head. All that being said, that’s one unique baseball card there, Mr. Gant . . . laundry day, was it?

I believe it does…even better is that if you hover over the pic, it says the file name: “Ron Gant topless”….HAHAHAHHAHAHAHA!!!! Did Craig name this image I wonder? HAHAHAHAHAHAH!

If u pick a bar fight and lose, just go home. No need to sue the other person all u do is look like u r looking for a pay day.

Next time Craig’s on the TV, I wonder if this Topps card will be blown up in the background.

In other news, I’m hijacking this thread to see if anyone else is interested in a standard 5×5 fantasy league. I guess there’s already one unofficial HBT league, so why not make it two? If so email me- same handle at yahoo.

Agreed. If you start the fight while drunk and lose, you need to lick your wounds and chalk it up to youthful stupidity.

I collected Ron Gant cards b/c I’m a dumbass. I still don’t recall the one posted above despite the hundreds of cards I own….I also never heard about this brawl either so go figure…

I my experience waitresses are usually more right about what was on the tab than the drunk.

Well with that Topps card of his you’re showing, and Mack wanting to become a senator, Maybe? Maybe Gant didn’t understand the whole bathroom toe tap under the stall wall bathroom etiquette? Never say “Yo’ what the f&^$% ?” Not unless you want to get rolled up on by a crotch grabbin’ future Senator wannabe??

anyone who sues because they got drunk, started a fight, and then got their ass kicked is a pos in my book

Good thing the Philadelphia A’s weren’t around – can you imagine Gant being traded there later on? AWKWARD!
