PITTSBURGH -- Milwaukee Brewers centre fielder Carlos Gomez and Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Travis Snider were ejected Sunday after a shouting match quickly escalated into a full-scale brawl. Several punches were thrown and a couple of players were tossed to the ground once the benches and bullpens emptied. The problems started when Gomez paused at the plate and flipped his bat after hitting a two-out drive in the third inning off Pirates starter Gerrit Cole. The ball hit the wall and Gomez sped into third base, making a head-first slide for a triple. Gerrit, who was near third base backing up the play, stormed toward Gomez and they exchanged words. Gomez took a couple steps toward Cole before players rushed the field from both dugouts. Milwaukees Martin Maldonado threw a punch that knocked off Sniders hat. Snider, who wasnt in the game, and Gomez shoved each other, and the Brewers star fell to the ground. Pirates catcher Russell Martin had to be restrained by teammate Gaby Sanchez as he walked off the field. Brewers bench coach Jerry Narron also was ejected. Miami Dolphins Jerseys .

Some eyewitness accounts say they were highlighted by something as remarkable as a few football kick-abouts.Suddenly a Tommy came with a football, wrote Lt. Johannes Niemann of Germany, referring to a British soldier. Teams were quickly established for a match on the frozen mud, and the Fritzes beat the Tommies 3-2.If not fully-fledged matches, other soldiers diaries and various reports also spoke of balls being kicked about in friendship.A huge crowd was between the trenches. Someone produced a little rubber ball so of course a football match started, Lt. Charles Brockbank of Britains Cheshire Regiment wrote in his diary, which is part of The Greater Game exhibit at the National Football Museum in Manchester.The proponents of the sport have cherished that day as historic proof that there is little that can better bridge mans differences than football.This Christmas, the British supermarket chain Sainsburys has taken the idea and turned it into a blockbuster ad, showing opposing soldiers living the truce amid a football match at the centre of the heart-tugging, some say sanitized, view of that Great War day.Michel Platini, the president of Europe soccers governing body, underscored that unique mood of brotherhood at the unveiling of the Christmas monument on Thursday on the former battlegrounds known as Flanders Fields in western Belgium, scene of some of the most horrendous killing.The monument is a steel ball sitting on the remains of a World War I shell.(In Ploegsteert) and probably elsewhere on the immense frontline from the North Sea to Switzerland, they get a football out, or a ball of cloth, and they started kicking it, Platini said.For those involved in 1914, it was most of all a yearning for a sense of normalcy, however momentarily, that pushed them over thee edge of their trenches, unarmed.ddddddddddddThe war had started on Aug. 4 when the German invasion of Belgium kicked off a series of events which quickly pitted the German and Austro-Hungarian empires against Britain, France, Russia and several allies.Germany swept into most of Belgium and northern France and even threatened Paris before the frontline was settled. Armies entrenched themselves for most of the next four years. At the time, though, the prevailing expectation on both sides had been to be home for Christmas.When that didnt happen, an early sense of euphoria quickly made way for unrelenting gloom. It set the stage for the Christmas truce and those magic kick-abouts.Germany alone had lost 300,000 soldiers by Christmas.Who would have expected that after all this killing, that Christmas, soldiers would climb out of their trenches, German ambassador Eckart Cuntz said.Football players themselves had been involved in the fighting from the early days. Of the 5,000 professional players at the time, about 2,000 joined the armed forces. Sometimes whole lineups signed up at the same time to create what became known as the Footballers Battalions. London club Clapton Orient, now known as Leyton Orient, alone had about 40 players and staff joining the war effort, all following the steps of their team captain.Scotlands top team at the time, Edinburgh club Hearts, had its whole team join the British army one month ahead of that Christmas, a move which inspired others to join, said Peter Francis of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. Seven members of that team were killed in the war.One of the first footballers killed in the war was Larrett Roebuck, a Huddersfield defender. After playing for his team in a 1-0 victory at Leicester Fosse early in the 1914-15 season, he left for the Western Front and was killed in action on the eve of the first Battle for Ypres, a few kilometres from that patch of land in Ploegsteert.The story is that he set off running across the field with the machine-guns going, said Roebucks grandson, Frank Wood. His friend saw him go down but he couldnt stop to help him. With the fight like that, you couldnt stop.___Virginia Mayo contributed to this report.___Follow Raf Casert on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/rcasert White NFL Jerseys Cheap Youth NFL Jerseys China Wholesale Jerseys 2020 Stitched NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Autographed Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys Discount Jerseys ' ' '
