The Peoria Chiefs played a game tonight against Kane County at Wrigley Field tonight. It was suspended in the 9th at 6-6 after rains hit.

Peoria manager Ryne Sandberg spoke about his team's recent brawl against Dayton. You can see video of it here.

“I’m pretty excited about the opportunity. I think it’s a big thrill for all of us to be here,” Sandberg said before the game. “I talked to them about (the fight). This is all a learning situation for them.”

Juan Marichal beating up John Roseboro? Was that a learning experience? What did Peoria learn from getting in a vicious brawl?

Probably not to fight or let their tempers run away with them, or they'll all get thrown out.

I learned the true meaning of Christmas in a bar fight, one time. I'd forgotten it before the night was through, but still, it was nice while it lasted.

Not to punch with your pitching hand?
