Those Little League games sure do get intense. Such was the case in Greeley this summer after a competitive youth baseball game. According to news reports, the father of one of the young players began yelling at the opposing coach and the situation escalated quickly. A nearby woman decided it was a good idea to film the irate parent, but his wife grew upset and hit the woman who was filming. The cell phone video documents the ensuing brawl which involved about 20 people.
