Jay Gibbons Accidentally Assaults Wife 


Athletes physically abusing their wives certainly isn't an aberration in the sports world, even when it is in regard to spares such as Lee Nailon. However the accidental assault might be the rarest feat in the history of sports...I have seen more triple plays in my life than what Jay Gibbons did this past Sunday.

"The scene occurred in the ninth inning of the Baltimore Orioles' game against Minnesota on Saturday. Gibbons fouled a ball straight back over the screen and into the rib cage of his wife, Laura."

The odds of hitting your wife is pretty rare and this whole event might be viewed as one big, weird coincidence, but I have my own theory...

WBRS Sports Blog certainly doesn't endorse spousal abuse, but we do know that at times marriages can be very frustrating and even in some instances one spouse might want to let out their emotions upon their significant other (just ask T.J. Kidd's French fry). To somehow maneuver a foul ball so you could directly hit your wife would be crazy, right? So crazy that it might be possible? Perhaps...

That's pretty funny, what are the chances? I'm sure if she goes to every game that the chances of that happening eventually were a little more than normal.

The subconscious is a crazy thing: this is like that Simpsons episode when Marge kept hurting Homer without realizing why she hated him.

Gibbons is the man in Baltimore. Seriously though the Orioles suck but I am glad Gibbons finally did something productive with his life.

I can't believe it took five comments until the token "guy who doesn't understand satire and types an angry, incoherent response in all caps" decided to chime in with his thoughts on this.

Great find.

just so you know, you can't "accidentally" assault someone - you need intent to assault.

assault, even battery, is a strong term - don't make it seem like he tried to hurt her.

you're better off saying that he accidentally hit her.

The only thing that comes to mind for the above comment is "Wow."

Mr. Mike Nebkor, you are truly a man of letters. Unfortunately, when you put them together, they don't make and sense.
