[外電趣聞]Kevin Brown新聞(unbelievable)

[firen ()]

這個新聞跟小王本身或棒球都沒有直接關係，
但如果是小王新人年就開始看球的球迷大概還記得這個人KB，
這是Kevin Brown的update，
小王會升上MLB進入rotation也是因為Wright.KB這兩位洋基明星夢中投手相繼受傷，
(當時pavano可還沒受傷喔....他是稍後才開始這段傳奇的)

我簡單翻一下這篇外電，大意是

這位KB豪宅的厝邊鄰居，Haws先生
和前mlb球星在Haws他家院子裡面起了爭執，法警到場才制止了這兩位先生在草地的扭打
中間Brown一度掏槍要Haws不要把草地上的碎石子丟過兩家的邊線。

在訊問中，Brown表示他是因為常在草地上看到蛇，才隨身帶槍的。
但因為兩方都不想把事情鬧大，最後是合解了。

跟我一樣時間太多的人，可以看一下這則新聞，報導還蠻故事性的XD

記者詳細列舉了兩方的說法，還有法警的說法，該說什麼呢？
比起台灣某些媒體只用單方說法好多了(或是記者看法) @Q@


Retired pitcher Brown in turf battle
By Liz Fabian
TELEGRAPH STAFF WRITER

The grass apparently is not greener on the other side of the fence for
retired Major League Baseball pitcher Kevin Brown, who reportedly pulled out
a pistol in a dispute with a neighbor over yard debris.

Bibb County sheriff's deputies were called to settle a tussle about tossed
turf Monday between Brown and Michael Haws.

"It was kind of an awkward evening," Haws told The Telegraph on the phone
Wednesday night. "Luckily nobody got arrested and nobody got shot."

Haws said he called the sheriff's office after a loud argument that began
when he found Brown throwing grass clippings over the fence into Haws' yard
on Breighton Court, which backs up to Brown's multimillion-dollar estate on
Brown's Ridge.

When Haws confronted Brown, the two men argued and Brown pulled out a gun and
told Haws he'd better not come onto Brown's property, the report stated.

Brown, baseball's first $100 million man, told deputies that he carries a gun
while strolling through the woods because he often sees snakes.

Haws told deputies that Brown did not point the gun at him.

Telephone messages left for Brown by The Telegraph were not returned
Wednesday night.

Brown, who once broke his left hand by punching the wall outside Yankees
manager Joe Torre's office, told investigators that he discovered yard debris
on his side of the fence as he walked his property line. He grabbed a couple
of fistfuls of clippings and threw them back into Haws' yard, the report
stated.

When Haws initially confronted Brown, the former All-Star pitcher said it was
Haws who originally threw trash on his property, the report stated.

Haws admitted throwing the grass clippings over the vine-covered wire fence
that stands 3 to 4 feet tall.

"I told police I was in the wrong. I should have thought twice before doing
that but it just looked like woods to me," he said.

Haws said Brown's mansion is about 300 to 500 yards from the back of his
yard. He said that he didn't know that his neighbor was a former baseball
star, but since the incident, others have told him of Brown's fame.

Brown told deputies that Haws became very angry during the shouting match and
said, "I should take you out right now." Haws confirmed that remark.

By the time the khaki-uniformed umpires finished interviewing the men,
neither wanted to press charges, the report stated.

As deputies concluded the report, they stated that Brown resolved to "put up
a taller fence."

Haws said he plans to buy a mulching mower.
