Baserunner sparks brawl in Mexican Baseball League after sucker punching a fielder who tagged him out
The former Astros prospect kicked a downed player during a fight between Toros de Tijuana and Acereros de Monclova
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Chaos broke out in the fourth inning of Sunday night's Liga Mexicana de Béisbol, aka Mexican Baseball League, game between the Toros de Tijuana and the Acereros de Monclova.
A runner ended up in the pickle after trying to score on a ground ball to third that wasn't fielded cleanly. He didn’t end up scoring and was tagged out on the play by the third baseman.

The runner, Tijuana's Danry Vasquez, a noted scumbag with a violent past who spent time in a couple of Major League Baseball organizations, responded to being tagged out on the play by throwing punches.

By noted scumbag, I mean he was arrested and charged with domestic violence for an assault on his then-girlfriend in the stairwell of Whataburger Field that resulted in the Houston Astros releasing him.
Back to this insane play. The tag appeared to be of the normal everyday variety. Certainly nothing worthy of the response it was met with.

After hitting Monclova third baseman Rodolfo Amador in the back, Vasquez dropped him with a right hand to the face. Both benches cleared, and all hell broke loose.

Before the action, which started on the third baseline, moved towards the mound, Vasquez can be seen kicking Amador while he was still down on the ground.

Vasquez was then knocked to the ground himself as he backpedaled by a justifiable clothesline from Monclova first baseman Ryan Hernandez.
Here's the wild brawl as it unfolded, which World Baseball reports, has resulted in Vasquez being "suspended indefinitely by the LMB."
The outlet also reported that Vasquez and Toros pitcher Adonis Medina were both ejected from the game, as were Monclova first baseman Ryan Hernandez and second baseman Jecksson Flores.

It was also reported on social media by Mexican journalist Rosa Lilia Torres that Hernandez, who can be seen knocking Vasquez to the ground with what appears to be a clothesline, left the ballpark in an ambulance.
He reportedly suffered a broken arm during the brawl.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}As for Danry Vasquez, he doesn’t come across as the kind of guy you want to hang with. I can't imagine that he's worth a roster spot. Unless you're really in need of someone who just might throw punches for absolutely no reason whatsoever.
