The fists were flying in Anaheim on Sunday afternoon. The Mariners and Angels decided to throw hands after Jesse Winker was hit with a pitch in the second inning. It was retaliation for Mike Trout being hit the night before.
Winker, instead of taking his base like a grown man after getting hit in the ass with a pitch, went after the Angels bench and all hell broke loose. An actual fight took place. Tensions were high and punches were thrown.

After the brawl a fan ordered Winker a pizza and had it delivered to him. He confirmed he received and ate the pizza, via Larry Brown Sports:

IT IS DELIVERED! Tip info coming if he can reply, I’m hesitant to give my own Venmo/Cash App because I’m certain DoorDash has a maximum tip size. pic.twitter.com/qCuQTgV7Ye

I have confirmed that not only did Jesse Winker get the pizza, he said it was really good. So, there you go, @MountainMikes is on my list next time I'm in Anaheim. Thanks for the tip @sofieballgame https://t.co/Ek7Kc820Cr

This is the perfect example of social media and sports coming together. It doesn't always work out, but this one did and we should all send players pizza.
