At Least They “Took It Outside”
Jul 11th 2007eBaseball & Minor League Baseball
After a long night on the baseball field, some players like to relax by laying on the couch or taking a long soak in the hot tub. Others go get drunk and start a fight at a bar.
“Hours after the Memphis Redbirds defeated the Albuquerque Isotopes on Friday night at AutoZone Park, one player from each team wound up in jail following an alleged altercation on Beale Street. Redbirds catcher Brian Esposito and Isotopes infielder Andrew Beattie were arrested early Saturday morning after Memphis police observed a disturbance in front of the EP Delta Kitchen & Bar at 126 Beale St. According to an affidavit of complaint against Esposito filed with the Shelby County General Sessions Court, Esposito and Beattie were observed by officers to be “intoxicated and involved in an argument and fighting with the EP staff” in front of the establishment.
Both players were charged with disorderly conduct and public intoxication, and Esposito was also charged with resisting official detention. Still, it’s nice to see players from opposing teams cooperating off the field.
