I hit him because he was being a fucking douchebag the whole game. Talking shit, arguing almost every call at first base both when they were at bat and when we were. I play first base, i think i can tell if someone is out or not, and he was talking a lot of shit. So when we would call our man safe or theirs out, he'd start talkin shit "wtf are youtalking about!! he was safe blah blah blah" just being VERY unsportsman like. 99% of the time we were just like "fine whatever, your guy is safe. ours is out." Then since none of our ladies showed up for the game, he started laying into us about how they have two and we have none... uhh sorry if they are out doing shit at the X Games and the Dew Tour.
But what set me off was when he was running to first base on a groundball to short. Shortstop came up with the groundball and threw it to me at first. It was a very close play, i will say, but he was out. I've played first base for 4 years in elementary, 1 in middle, 2 in highschool, and going on 4 for softball. When you play first you notice what sound you hear first, ball then bag, or bag then ball. It was all ball then bag. Mfoot wasnt covering 1/2 the base, let alone a 1/4 of it (you play on the edge), he comes charging down the line and fucking stomps on the back of my ankle (the achilles tendon area) and knocked me down, then proceeded to say in a verrrry rude and asshole way,
"im taking that!!!"
I stood up and said, "what the fuck are you taking??"
he replied "i was fucking safe, and you fucking know it."
"The only reason why you were safe was because you took me out. Base runners step on the middle to outside of the bag, not on the first basemens foot."
He says, "I didnt even fucking touch you, dont get all pissy because you couldnt hold on to the ball." (i dropped it when he hit me)
i reply "Look at my ankle, that beat red area with broken veins under the skin didnt happen on its own. But, whatever man, youre a fucking asshole, cant play a god damn fun game."
So he pushes me once back, and I didnt move, he pushes me again, so i pulled back and punched him right in the chin/jaw and knocked him on his ass and down for about 5 seconds.
he got up, started yelling and shit, wanting to fight me, but the teams got in the middle.
Cliffnotes:
Guy talking tons of shit the whole game.
Takes me out and could of seriously injured me.
He talks some more shit.

I laid into him, he fell, benches clear.
Oh, we still won by 15 runs even with all the gimmies we gave them.
