Police investigating fight at Eastern Kentucky youth baseball game
A fight at a youth baseball game in Eastern Kentucky got so ugly last night police are now involved. Videos on Facebook show coaches and parents brawling during the championship game between the Reds and the Rangers at Stanton City Park, forcing the game to end early. This video, captured by Destani Renaye Knox, shows the tail end of the fight and features some VERY NSFW language.
“It’s really sad these kids that played hard all season and put their hearts on that field didn’t get to finish their championship game because ‘adults’ wanted to act like this,” Knox wrote.
Again, that video only shows the tail end of the fight. When Jimmy Smith, head coach of the Rangers, addressed the incident on Facebook, another video showing the entire fight surfaced in the comments. Unfortunately, I can’t embed it, but you can click the post below to see it.

This fight at a Powell County, Kentucky tee-ball game deserves the JR and King treatment. Pathetic! 🤦♂️ @JRsBBQ @JerryLawler pic.twitter.com/F33p3y9xt6
