The explanation, from the Gary himself - "I got punched in the mouth, I swung back to clear room so I could throw the ball in."
None of that is even close to what I saw on any replay - it'll be interesting to see if he gets any suspension time for this, because he did really hold himself back afterwards. You could definitely see the right fist cocked to go after the dude, then he backs off . . . kudos to that usher kid who lept into the stands, he probably saved the yankees 10 days sans Sheff.
Meanwhile, we get to listen to a couple more days of idiots running at the mouth - Baseball Tonight last night nearly made me gag. My real question is, though, that isn't this sort of behavior supposed to happen while you're still actually taking steroids? He's had to be 'clean' for almost 2 years, I don't get it.

Baseball Tonight has taken a turn for the worse over the last year. It's not nearly as good as it was, even a couple of years ago.
I thought Sheff was going to deck him - all I could think in my head was "roid rage" when it first happened. I'm glad Gary at least held back though; I was expecting the worst. I'd be surprised if he got suspended.
It will be interesting to see what happens in Yankee stadium on the next time around. I'd like to think Yankees fans will restrain themselves, but I'll hold my breath on the first ball that the Yanks hit into the left or right field corner.
