Everybody at the four-letter sports network seemed to weight in Tuesday on the pizza-throwing incident at Boston on Monday. As Garret Anderson tracked a foul ball down the left-field line at Fenway Park, one Red Sox fan hurled a slice of pizza at another.
Manager Mike Scioscia said the fan who was hit should have been grateful it wasn’t a Chicago-style deep dish pizza.
I tell you what, if that was Gino’s East (in Chicago) that guy might have been arrested for assault with a deadly weapon, Scioscia said. Those things, man, you drop one on your toes, you’ll be in a cast.
Anderson, who was the closest player to the pizza incident admitted he never saw the pizza throwing actually take place. After he saw a replay, he was convinced the pizza was targeted for him, even though the thrower was quoted in a Boston paper as saying he intended to hit the fan.
I don’t know if I believe that because he could have thrown it any other time, Anderson said. If that’s what he said, that’s what he said. If I had to guess, I’d say he was throwing it at me. Why else would he throw it? Obviously he ordered it, he wanted to eat it.
