Bradley was called out on strikes earlier in the game and tossed his bat in the direction of home plate or the home plate umpire. As Bradley approached for his next at bat the home plate umpire asked him if he had tossed his bat at him to which Bradley replied that he had not. The home plate umpire explained that the rest of the umpire crew had asked him why he had not thrown Bradley out as they saw it as he was indeed throwing his bat at the him. Bradley reached first base and asked the first base umpire if he felt that he had thrown the bat intentionally. The umpire told him that Bradley knew exactly what he was doing and was throwing the bat, and then started to shout explatives at Bradley - whom it should be mentioned even with his jaded past did keep his wits about him until this point. Bradley then got into it verbally with the umpire and eventually went after the umpire only to have his manager restrain him - however severly injuring him in the process (Bradley is out for the remainder of the year).
-It should be noted that the first base umpire has just come out and apologized for his actions.

Milton Bradley was called out on strikes earlier in the game, and he allegedly threw the bat within 10 feet of the umpire. When he reached first base the Upmire, Mike winters, started using profanity and insulting him. Basically, provoking him. Milton tore his ACL and is out for the rest of the season and some of next season. Mike Winters was suspened for the rest of the season. Don't listen to all the haters out there that say he is a hothead, he might be at times, but hes a good player.
