 not a good decision he jumped the fence ran up behind texas outfielder jeff burrows and grabbed his hat there's some controversy regarding what happened next according to your kick burrows kicked him but because of the slope of the diamond from the rangers dugout all billy martin could see was burl's legs and it looked like he'd been knocked down more fans were climbing onto the field and martin thought jeff was out there all by himself i saw knives and other things we just couldn't let our teammate get beat up he ordered his team onto the field carrying bats to protect burrows
