Well, pretty much everyone agrees that Clemens didn't mean to throw the bat at Piazza, even Piazza does... I think that Clemens saw Mike hit the ball, saw it go foul, and saw the bat coming at him, he was so fired up, and wanted to just keep pitching that he wanted to get the broken bat off the field as soon as he could, so he grabbed it, and kinda chucked it. My back-up for this is the fact that Roger had no reason for intent, and also the fact that after the matter he kept asking the Ump to give him another ball, he wanted to just keep going. Now Mike didn't know that it was a foul ball, so like anybody would, he started for first, Roger assumed that Mike knew it was foul, so he didn't even think about him.
I think it kinda makes sense looking at it like that... dontcha tink?
