MILWAUKEE (AP) \u2014 Tony Mansolino\u2019s first road game as the Baltimore Orioles\u2019 interim manager came in the city where his dad worked as a Milwaukee Brewers coach for a couple of seasons in the late 1990s. <\/p>\n
But the new skipper’s<\/a> most vivid Milwaukee memory \u2014 even though it wasn\u2019t particularly pleasant \u2014 goes back about five years before that. <\/p>\n Mansolino\u2019s dad was coaching against the Brewers as a Chicago White Sox assistant in the summer of 1993. Mansolino was in the Milwaukee County Stadium stands watching the game with Casey Harrelson, the son of former White Sox broadcaster Ken \u201cHawk\u201d Harrelson. <\/p>\n \u201cI remember sitting behind home plate, and the next thing you know there was a lot of ruckus going on over by the first base dugout,\u201d Mansolino recalled Monday during his pregame media availability. \u201cIt turned out it was my dad and Phil Garner getting in a fight on the field.\u201d <\/p>\n Mansolino was working as the White Sox first base coach and Garner was managing the Brewers at the time. According to The Associated Press account of the game, an angry Mansolino headed toward the Milwaukee dugout in the eighth inning and Garner came out to approach him, sparking a bench-clearing scuffle. <\/p>\n Video footage of the skirmish shows White Sox players Bo Jackson and Tim Raines restraining Mansolino, who was ejected from the game. The incident occurred after a pitcher for each team hit a batter earlier in the game, with Milwaukee\u2019s Cal Eldred hitting Robin Ventura in the sixth and Chicago\u2019s Jeff Schwarz plunking John Jaha in the seventh. <\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t know the whole story,\u201d Tony Mansolino said. \u201cI just remember watching it and being pretty terrified as a kid.\u201d <\/p>\n Tony Mansolino, now 42, noted the story doesn\u2019t end there. Garner ended up getting Doug Mansolino to join his Brewers coaching staff in 1998. Doug Mansolino went on to be part of Garner\u2019s coaching staffs with the Detroit Tigers and Houston Astros as well. <\/p>\n \u201cThat was the start of the relationship,\u201d Tony Mansolino said. <\/p>\n
