Alex Bregman made a reputation of being the cockiest and loudest braggart on the Houston Astros i recent seasons. Of course, when the team was proven guilty of illegally stealing signs, the once-loud Bregman was uncharacteristically quiet. Bregman was bound to be the victim of some good old fashion policing by the 29 other clubs, and he got just that on Wednesday. While facing the St. Louis Cardinals, Bregman got a baseball right in the spine, courtesy of pitcher Ramon Santos.

Non-Astros fans definitely have a smile on their faces after watching this. Brace yourself, Alex. This isn't going to be the last beanball you face in 2020.

When the lights are brightest, the league's best are going to do plenty of talking with finely-pointed fastballs, until Rob Manfred steps in (yeah, right).
