Video: Tommy Pham Suspended For Joc Peterson Slap

Tommy Pham says Joc Pederson was "f**king with my money" in their fantasy football pool. And thus, he committed the "slap heard 'round the baseball world." For that, the Cincinnati Reds outfielder/DH has been hit with a 3-game suspension by MLB.

And yes, we now have grainy video of the incident that took place during batting practice before Friday's game: 

Tommy Pham slapped Joc Pederson across the head and was suspended for three games because lingering resentment from a rule regarding IR designation in their fantasy football league spilled over into real life and led to Pham’s attack.

Pham provided details of the dispute which led to the Will Smith-like slap: 

Tommy Pham says Joc Pederson forgot to tell the media the “disrespectful shit” he said about Pham’s former team

“I didn’t like the sketchy shit going on," said Pham. "Too much money on the line. F**king with my money... I said I didn't forget about that shit, and I walked up to him and slapped him."

He also added that Pederson texted some “disrespectful sh*t” about Pham's former team, the San Diego Padres, in the fantasy league's group chat. 

You can't make this stuff up. 

Pham has agreed to the 3-game suspension, and will miss the rest of this weekend's Reds/Giants series.
