FIGHT, LIFE ENDS IN JUST ONE PUNCH
05.14.08
There are any number of recent examples of mindless bits of violence between fanbases, but San Francisco Giants fans have enough animosity to take on their own. And take them out, for good, in one punch, as SportsbyBrooks recaps.
Giraudo and his friends were leaving a game between the Giants and the Philadelphia Phillies about 9:45 p.m. Friday when Giraudo got into an argument with a group of Carlmont High students beyond the gates in center field, according to police and Giraudo's relatives and friends.
Acquaintances said Giraudo, a first-year student and baseball pitcher at Cañada College in Redwood City, had been sticking up for a female friend who was being harassed by one of Buckley's friends. Buckley punched Giraudo once, knocking him to the ground, police said.
Who hit this guy? Brad Pitt's character from Snatch? Actually, the guy hit his head on the concrete and died later at the hospital. This is why if you have to scrap next to AT&T Park, stick near the water. A well-executed uppercut sends a person falling headlong into the Bay and not concrete. Also, the splash would also be pretty big. And what's better than a fight that ends with a big splash? Oh, right, one that ends with a death.

Serves him right for being from Canada
….college
Seems like Cañada is the pussy Canada, I always thought it was it's evil twin.
Police were puzzled by a Phillie fan using his fists instead of the standard issue "D Cell" Batteries most Phillies fans carry.
Was Giraudo a Punch Rockgroin fan?
Because of the location is this automatically a hate crime?
Couldn't possibly be any happier with that photoshop job there.
Mickey was Brad Pitt in Snatch, possibly the best character ever? I think so.
Philly fan should have leaned to the left twice, than jab, than upper cut. Would have worked better.
I loved Giraudo's hit single 'Rico Suave'.
Quite a loss for the music community.
Concrete, will you ever lose?
Yeah, death by drowning is way cooler than death by concrete.
This kid's chin is worse than Glass Joe's. I bet he was killed by a King Hippo-esque Haymaker.
What do you call one Philly fan killed by a single punch?
A good start.
It's good to see Giants fans returning to their Candlestick roots where every home game came with a good fight in the stands.
Somebody say Punch?
What do you call one Philly fan killed by a single punch?
A good start.
What do you call blowing a 7 game lead with 17 games to go?
Mets baseball.
