Former major league pitcher Carlos Zambrano apologized for instigating a brawl during Venezuela's Winter League championship series. Big Z didn't pitch in the game but found himself in the middle of the scrum, throwing a series of haymakers that didn't find a home. He told El Nacional newspaper that he was sorry for the "very embarrassing incident." Cubs fans might recall Zambrano's temper from a 2011 incident in which he was suspended 30 games for screaming at teammate Derrek Lee.
