Rumors on Searger
Weaver is known to have done similar things to other players but Seager is also famous for starting unwanted fights in games.
Tensions seemed to be pretty hostile after the incident and lot of words were thrown front and back between the players from both the teams.
Seager gloated after the game and kept boasting of how he made Weaver “quit on his team”, when he was needed the most by his team mates and by his club fans Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.
Weaver said he was just fed up of Seager unwanted theatrics and couldn't stand it any longer and said if he could do it again he would do it.
Seager, when he came in to the field, came with the intention of doing exactly as he did and getting a reaction out of Weaver, which he succeeded in doing.
