Update: If the story of the innocent baseball player sucker-punched on his way to an innocent dinner in Cleveland because Cleveland is just an unsafe city doesn't exactly have that ring of truth to it, it's because it's not true.
Scene spoke to a witness to the "sucker punch," and there are more than a few discrepancies between his story and that of Tanner.
First, it was at 2:30 a.m. outside of Panini's on W. 6th.
Second, Tanner was a verbal instigator. He was with Joe Nathan, A.J. Pierzynski, and, according to our tipster, a bunch of girls. He had been jawing back and forth for a few minutes before the physical altercation took place.
"He lost a bar fight," says the witness. "He had 10 chances to walk away before this happened."
Maybe that's why he didn't file a police report. — Vince Grzegorek
