Pirates' Sean Rodriguez Pummels a Gatorade Cooler After Benches Clear in NL Wild Card Game
Sean Rodriguez threw a bunch of punches after the benches cleared.
— -- Gulp.
Pittsburgh Pirates first baseman Sean Rodriguez turned the National League Wild Card game into the Wild West -- landing more hits than his entire team in a bizarre dugout brawl with a Gatorade cooler.
The incident, captured on video, happened during the 7th inning of the game with the Cubs, when Chicago's pitcher was beaned at the plate. The Pirates were down 4-0 at that point.
Both benches cleared, but when the incensed Rodriguez returned to the dugout, he unleashed a grand slam on the cooler.
The cooler eventually fell down onto the ground.
In the wake of the incident, a "Pirates Water Cooler" parody Twitter account emerged.
