Brewers general manager attacked by scorpion

Spring training has taken a dark turn for some teams as nature has begun stalking several of Major League Baseball's general managers.

Yankees GM Brian Cashman broke his leg and ankle after flying too close to the sun. Now, Brewers GM Doug Melvin came out on the losing end of a brief encounter with a scorpion.

After spotting the Arizona bark scorpion in his hotel room, Melvin went after the highly poisonous creature armed with a Kleenex.  The beast may or may not have unleashed a tiny, patronizing laugh and tore through Melvin's defenses as if they were just a tissue and it was the deadliest scorpion in North America.
