Not once in the 17 years Rudy Seanez has pitched in the big leagues has he hit a batter who then came running at him wielding his bat.

The durable Phillies reliever has no idea what would have happened if a player actually had, but chances are one of them would have ended up with a black eye.

This reminds me a bit of our local rugby squad. The Tigers actually have a Judo coach who I guess teaches them how to throw and be thrown.

I guess MA would be good for baseball, teaches you how to swing harder .

I love to read up on stories like this. Its cool to see the crossover from other sports with MA.
