The Red Sox and the Rays played a ho-hum game for about an inning and a half before the good times really began to roll as Coco Crisp charged the mound with ferocity causing the benches to clear in an all-out WWE-style brawl. And, of course, at the end of the clip is footage of Manny being Manny.

Just to show you how unique and individual the world of sports is, not only are you allowed to punch people repeatedly in boxing, crush their bodies in football and deliver some vicious hits in hockey, but apparently you can now dress up like a jackass and virtually run over a professional baseball player and receive absolutely no penalty! At least, the Mariner Moose got off the hook after his little stunt on an ATV went wrong and almost put Red Sox outfielder Coco Crisp on the shelf. But, hey, no harm, no foul, right?

The Mariners are very sorry about this unfortunate incident. We apologized Sunday to both Coco Crisp and the Red Sox, and they were very gracious about accepting our apology," Tim Hevly, the team's director of baseball information, said Tuesday night.

"There will be no punishment for the Moose," Hevly said.

In case you haven't seen the attempted crippling accident, here's the whacky footage:

Never really gotten hit by a moving vehicle before. That was the most athletic thing I did all day," Crisp said after the game. "It was an accident. I mean, I'm not going to run over and clothesline the guy.

Damn, Coco, we really wish you would have. Of course, if the shoe was on the other foot and the mascot got `accidentally assaulted' then you'd be dealing with a money hungry Moose and a lawsuit. And nobody wants that.
