VINCE COLEMAN THROWING AN EXPLOSIVE DEVICE AT FANS WAS AT BIZARRE AS IT GETS
After going 1-for-5 in the Mets’ victory over the Dodgers, Coleman was caught throwing an M-80 firecracker from his car in the stadium’s parking lot. The explosion directly injured three people, including a 2-year-old girl named Amanda Santos. The device was said to be “equivalent of more than one-quarter of a stick of dynamite“, resulting in a felony charge for the NYM outfielder. Coleman faced a max sentence of three years in prison but still played four more seasons with four more MLB teams.
