Two-time MLB All-Star Asdrubal Cabrera brutally smacked out his rival batter during a crazy moment in the Venezuela Professional Baseball winter league Saturday night.
Cabrera, currently an MLB free agent after stints in Arizona, Cincinnati, Cleveland, New York (Mets), Philadelphia, Tampa, Texas and Washington, delivered a sickening blow to opponent, Carlos Castro.

Cabrera was clearly unhappy with the outward celebrations and decided to take matters into his own hands.
The former Texas Ranger pulled a page from the WWE playbook of legendary Texan wrestler JBL, delivering a hellacious clothesline which brutally sat Castro down.
