Gerald Laird - Suite fightin' man


According to Joe Frisaro of MLB.com, Tigers catcher, Gerald Laird and his younger brother, Brandon Laird, a prospect in the Yankees system were arrested on suspicion of assault and disorderly conduct on Wednesday in Phoenix.

The Laird brothers were attending a Phoenix Suns basketball game in an arena lounge/suite at the U.S. Airways Arena in Phoenix. Apparently, security guards had previously spoken to the brothers about their loud behavior. Later, according to Phoenix police Sgt. Andy Hill, "While security guards were trying to arrest the subject for disorderly conduct, the Laird Brothers interfered and assaulted the security guards".

Interesting.

I bet Gerald never made contact though.*

*Sorry, Gerald but when you hit .225, you open yourself up to this stuff. Nothing personal. I would have said the same thing if it was Neifi Perez or Mario Mendoza.
