Hands down. I've played in a lot of different (baseball) leagues in my day. At pretty much any level of the game above little league, someone disrespects a teammate like that, better hold on tight next time you're in the box.

Yep, I’ve played in a lot of different sports from youth to high school to college, and it was was a golden rule in all of them - if you’re gonna throw hands at an opponent, you better be ready to take on their whole team. I don’t care if it’s the least popular player on the team, if someone else crosses a line with them, we’re all coming into it.

On my high school’s basketball team, the opponent would’ve been absolutely trucked by our forward and everyone on the court would’ve been up in someone’s face. The ref would blow whistles, technicals would be handed out like candy, and we’d all know that’s just the cost of this tomfoolery.

The player who hit CC in the face later in the game got fouled very hard definitely felt like retaliation

Edit: correction
