In 1996, Pedro Martinez flipped the script and charged the mound against the Phillies

When you hear the name "Pedro Martinez" in close proximity to the phrase "charged the mound," you're likely to recall a handful of incidents in which the Hall of Fame pitcher was standing on the mound awaiting the arrival of a sprinting batter (or bench coach) after just having plunked someone.

On Sept. 24, 1996, the cleat was on the other foot when Phillies pitcher Mike Williams threw inside on Pedro. Martinez had hit Gregg Jeffries earlier in the contest, forcing the outfielder to leave the game early. So, when Pedro attempted to lay down a sacrifice bunt in his next at bat, Williams threw hard enough and inside enough to elicit a warning from umpire Frank Pulli.

Welp, the next pitch went behind Pedro, who proceeded to charge the mound and, ahem, discard his helmet in the process.

Both bullpens and benches emptied, and Curt Schilling became heavily involved. Williams, Phillies manager Jim Fregosi, Martinez and Schilling were all ejected for their troubles, and the Expos went on to win, 6-2.
