Cape Cod Baseball Brawl Ends in Court

A Cape Cod man is in police custody after allegedly beating another man with a baseball bat because he believed—mistakenly, it turns out—that the other man was a New York Yankees fan. Robert Correia and his friends noticed New York license plates on a car leaving a fireworks display in Falmouth, Mass., Friday night and allegedly assaulted William Nestor, the Cape Cod Times reports.

"They were yelling, 'Yankees! Yankees!' and 'F- New York,' " Nestor told the New York Post. Correia, 20, pleaded not guilty this morning in district court and is being held pending a dangerousness hearing. (Read more New York stories.)
