Washington Nationals Nyjer Morgan Charges The Mound, Gets Clobbered

A lot of times these days it doesn't seem like baseball players really want to fight, even when the benches clear.

That was not the case tonight with the Nationals and the Marlins. Chris Volstad of the Marlins threw a pitch behind Nyjer Morgan, and Morgan immediately charged Volstad.

The big hit however came from Marlins first baseman Gaby Sanchez, who came out of nowhere to clothsline Morgan, pro wrestling style. It happens about :08 in, and you'll watch it over and over again.
