    Coryell: Ballpark fisticuffs - Philadelphia Daily News
    Ed Coryell Jr., a business agent for the carpenters union, is sporting a cast on his left hand. It broke when he decked a union contractor, Chuck Rodgers of Pinnacle Construction, in an altercation at a Phillies-Reds game on June 2.

    Each has filed a private criminal complaint against the other, leaving it to the courts to reconstruct the blow-by-blow.

    In separate interviews with Clout, they agreed on several points: Rodgers blamed the union for some recent business problems, he saw Coryell sitting behind home plate, tapped him on the shoulder somewhere around the eighth inning and said something about benefits money providing the union with good seats. Each claims the other swung first.
