The thing I remember most about Russ Springer is when he kept firing pitch after pitch right at Barry Bonds.
Quote:
With the San Francisco slugger leading off the fifth inning, Springer's first pitch sailed behind Bonds' back, drawing a warning from plate umpire Joe West.
The next four pitches all came inside, including one that hit Bonds' bat handle on the third delivery for strike one. The fifth pitch hit Bonds as he turned to protect himself.
That's when Springer and manager Phil Garner got ejected -- and the Houston crowd gave Springer a standing ovation.
