Just to clear up the 1988 Scranton Regional Memory...Most of Vic's account is correct.
The Quad player was grabbing a sip from the water bottle I handed him. When he was done there was no one else to hand it to and we were moving down the track to set the opener. He tossed the bottle over his shoulder not knowing there was someone in uniform that was going to hit by the bottle...
I really dont think the bottle was thrown with any other pupose other than to get rid of it...
All i remember was the Skyliner coming over and grabbing him by the harness (I didnt see a punch) and then he was on the ground...
Well, i believe it was BUSH's first win that evening - and I also remember the drum line picking up the tempo just a little...
We did push for SKY to be fined $$ since a member in uniform crossed on to the field... Dont recall what happened to that...
Hope that Helps -
