What happened between Joc Pederson and Tommy Pham?
Right before the game began between Pederson's San Francisco Giants and Pham's Cincinnati Reds on Friday, the two exchanged words in left field.
That's where Pham slapped Pederson across the face, after reportedly asking Pederson if he remembered the fantasy football incident.
Pederson later spoke in the clubhouse about the incident, telling the New York Times he didn't react because "violence isn't the answer."
He did say that the fantasy football argument happened over a year ago and that Pham had accused him of cheating at the time.
