Here's a video of Anthony Rendon grabbing a fan's clothing, cursing at him, then attempting to hit him.

He accused the fan of calling him a "b**ch."

The Angels said they have no comment, but noted that Rendon will be available to comment on it tomorrow before the game.

Looks like the fragility of his body has recently spread to his ego. Get well soon.

An article on not-so laid back Tony Two Bags.

just when his body was healthy enough for a full season of play, his ears and his mind likely get him a suspension. The fine won't set him back. He makes about $200K a game? So a 10 game suspension would be a $2 million fine? Seems the least due. It's not even like the fan threw something at players or was violent. Just trash talk. Thank goodness he's never had Larry Bird on his case.

Does MLB drop the hammer like the NBA would? Any other sport grabbing a fan like that would be multiple months, so it should be interesting

Split out. I am guessing a few folks will want to take a swing at posting

Not sure what he was thinking. A's fans can be a little rough but he should know that by now.

More like a slap. LOL.

Why did the team mates and a coach looking guy just watch. He's been around enough to ignore this kind of thing, you'd think? Must be pretty frustrated to act like that?

Count Walewski · « **Reply #9:** March 31, 2023, 07:47:56 PM »

Weird. He never did stuff like this in DC. One of the last guys I'd expect to do this.

I also wondered why no one stepped in. Guess they were surprised.

I see what you did there

It's accumulated stuff for him. He normally projects a y"all be y'all idgaf attitude about vocal fans and writers, but I think the past couple of years may be getting to him inside.

That's a pretty weird encounter, from the grinning while calling someone a motherfreaker to ending with a little lefty slap after being called a nag.

If the fan said that, he did cross a line, but come on.

Boras blamed stadium security and the clubhouse configuration.

“Major League Baseball needs to address stadium security,” Boras said. “This is the only stadium in Major League Baseball where fans have access to plays after games.”

The best take I’ve heard is that he’s getting creative figuring out how to miss half the season

You know, I can relate. If they did not build the Bank of America in my neighborhood, I would not have been so tempted to rob the ATM. Oh, wait, I didn't rob the ATM. Maybe that's because I know it is stupid and criminal.

Yep, hard to call it a dangerous aggression.

He's probably more pissed about being represented by Lou Correa

Fox had complete coverage. "SF Area 'Man' Incorrectly Identifies Gender of Patriotic Athlete."

I don't think fans should be saying that, but a pro athlete really has to not let stuff like this bother them. That's honestly really tame compared to what an outfielder would hear at places like Yankee Stadium, Fenway, or Wrigley.

Now that fans know they can get to him, I expect him to hear a lot worse for the rest of his career
