Nyjer Morgan proved just how gangsta he is on Wednesday night when he took a run at 6’8″ pitcher Chris Volstad. The 6′ 175 Lbs Morgan (or so he is officially listed at) decided to throw down with the Marlins pitcher after he hit him once and then threw behind him in the next at bat. Volstad probably was upset that Morgan decided to steal second and third in an eleven run game after being hit the first time. The inciting incident took place on Tuesday when Nyjer dislocated the shoulder of Marlins rookie catcher Brett Hayes on a collision at the plate. Morgan is a scrappy little guy, perhaps this is trait he acquired while playing Major Junior ice hockey for the WHL’s Regina Pats. Love him or hate him “Tony Plush” (Morgan’s self-given “Gentleman’s name”) is a guy I would like to have in my foxhole.
