Managers? Ex-Reds Manager Ray Knight Charged ALBANY, Ga., Apr 29, 1999 (AP Online via COMTEX) -- Ray Knight, the former manager of the Cincinnati Reds, was charged with disorderly conduct after striking a spectator during an argument after a youth softball game. Knight and Jimmy C. Smith, the spectator, were both charged, but not arrested, after an altercation Tuesday night at Ken Gardens Ballpark. Both Knight, who is married to LPGA golfer Nancy Lopez, and Smith had daughters participating in the game, which featured 11- and 12-year-old girls. Smith told The Albany Herald that Knight, a baseball analyst for ESPN, told one of his players who had been walked to run before the umpire signaled ball four. Smith yelled from the stands for Knight to let the umpire do his job. Smith said Knight, who was coaching a team, approached him after the game and the two argued about the comment, which came with Knight's team trailing 10-2 in the bottom of the fifth. A 15-minute argument ensued, which included profane language and name-calling by both men. Smith said he told Knight: ''You couldn't play with the big boys and couldn't coach up there, so you have to come here and coach a girls' softball team.'' The comment prompted Knight to reach over an assistant coach and strike Smith in the ear with his fist, opening a small cut, Smith said. Smith said he thought Knight's ring caused the cut. The two were separated before police arrived. Each of the two faces a fine of $88 at a municipal court hearing Monday.
