i don't think it was a direct retaliation, but i went to a
2004 game where garcia beaned koskie three times and was not even warned. the twins fans behind me were livid, but there was no retaliatory beaning by the twins (the everett HBP was incidental and occurred the inning before the third koskie beaning). but ozzie wouldn't have even made it to the plate the third time, because he already would have been dead or in the hospital or whatever. i guess the canucks just play ball differently than the venezuelans, eh?

If anything could be considered retaliation for the Jamie Burke incident, it would be this game. Especially since it happened the very next night. July 26th was the Burke/Hunter game, and Koskie gets drilled 3 times the next night. The funny thing is I was at the game where Burke got steamrolled, and I don't remember the next night. I don't know what the circumstances were, but you'd think considering the hubbub from the night before 3-HBP wouldn't have gone unnoticed. Even reading the recaps none of the Twins seemed to think the Koskie HBP's were intentional.
