Bro, too far!
I've seen some baseball rivalries in my day, but I've never seen one go as far as this -- at least as far as the charges are concerned...
It happened out in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
[T]he entire Rio Rancho High School JV baseball team was suspended, after a player allegedly urinated in the La Cueva team's water jug during a game. Several players and coaches from La Cueva then drank from that jug.
Now, the player in question is facing 15 counts of battery. Rio Rancho police say they've forwarded those charges to Juvenile Probation and Parole.
This was a JV baseball game, so they're leaving the kid's name out of it since he's 16. But Albuquerque Public Schools responded to the charges with a strong message:
We're glad authorities in Rio Rancho took this matter seriously and filed criminal charges. Outrageous behavior like this must be met with swift consequences to send the message that it's unacceptable and will not be tolerated.
Peeing in a team's water jug goes far beyond the bounds of unsportsmanlike conduct, so this boy got himself in some deep trouble here. The entire team remains suspended.
Players on the La Cueva team seem to be doing alright, though they've been warned by their principal to seek medical attention for this disgusting act.
