Tasers on Stun!
Police had to taser Al Reyes twice last night. That's some birthday celebration!
The bouncers tried to control Reyes, but the 6-foot-1, 240-pound right-hander kept pushing them away. A Tampa Police officer working extra duty at the bar stepped in and yelled, "Stop Police!," but Reyes "continued spitting blood and thrashing about," according to a police incident report.
Moments later, the officer warned Reyes he was going to Tase the pitcher, and he did, knocking him to the bar floor. Ignoring police commands to stay down, authorities said Reyes got up and was Tased a second time.
With a 13.50 ERA so far this year, it's easier to knock Al out of the game than out with a shock. :-)
Hat Tip, BBTF.
