I will always have fond memories of Antonio Alfonseca for being involved in one of the greatest backstage dugout incidents of all time:

Alfonseca, who was required to monitor his weight daily with the Marlins, angrily protested a weigh-in request, cursing in Spanish, according to the newspaper. Torborg asked him to settle down, witnesses told the newspaper, and to get on the scales. Alfonseca then cursed Torborg, who is also known as "The Demon" in professional wrestling circles.

 

Several witnesses told the newspaper that Torborg became so angry that he went after Alfonseca, who had gone into a nearby area. Dale Torborg, who is 6-feet-6 and 270 pounds, could be heard screaming to Alfonseca that if he disrespected him again in such a manner, Torborg would physically harm him, according to the Sun-Sentinel.

 

Alfonseca, no slouch himself at 6-5 and 258 pounds, was apparently so shaken by Torborg's response that he fled down the hall to a trainer's office and locked the door, according to witnesses. Torborg shouted at Alfonseca to open the door, but Alfonseca would not. Eventually others interfered and the incident ended without any punches being thrown.
