You can see Magglio was visably upset. He kept asking him, "Why did you have to touch me?" I understand why they are upset, but comeon really. It's so sad that we have gotten to a place in this world where people get so bent out of shape over someone touching you like that? I completely understand the umpire's motives. He didn't want to eject Magglio, just a polite way of saying, "please shut up".

punched him in the jaw for lightly placing his hand on his back...instead of running him...yeah...a punch in the jaw there is warranted.....what a tool

Bottom line: You do NOT touch the players.

I watched this when it happened. I went crazy after he did that. Don't ever touch the players!

Even though I'm a twins fan, I do know that if you don't want players touching you, you shouldn't be touching players.

He was trying to grab his package.

[gymbud7]

ok that stupid ump shouldn't have put his hand on magglios back..but seriously!?

i woulda been just as mad as leyland but ya don't have to take it all out on the umpire..

i agree..it was just a polite way of saying shut up and leave. but...its against the rules.

im glad leyland put up a good fight!!!!!!!!

I have to say, Maggs showed a hell of a lot of restraint there. Once that ump put his hands on him, he could've punched him right square in the jaw and would've been justified in doing so.
