Tough guy Lo Duca reinjures hand, challenges fan to a fight.

"The guy was being obnoxious the whole night. I just kept my mouth shut and didn't say anything. Then I'm coming off the field, and he told me I was a [wimp]. So I said, "If I'm a [wimp], come outside and wait for me.' He turned red as a freaking ketchup bottle."
(Paul Lo Duca, via Washington Times, 5/8/2008)

It's not easy being Paul Lo Duca these days.

From Washington Times:

The veteran catcher, though, appeared to be in agony after fouling off an 0-1 pitch and immediately dropping his bat.

Tended to briefly by assistant trainer Mike McGowan, Lo Duca soon was helped back to the dugout, where the scene took a surprising turn. As he walked down the dugout steps, Lo Duca began jawing and pointing at some fans in the front row, at one point pausing to make another point.

Lo Duca finally was ushered into the clubhouse, while security personnel ushered three spectators out of the park to a chorus of boos from the crowd of 30,432.
