There were no 1950's Philadelphia debt collectors slinging brassknuckles. I'm certain the brassknuckles myth was started by someone under the juice, as was the early reports that both Stenhouse Sr. & Jr. were badly beaten and bloody messes and Swindell was taking by ambulance for a catscan. Does makes a fiery (fictional) story that's fitting for most local garages.
A closer to truth is Stenhouse Sr got a couple of grazing shots at Sammy before being blindsided by Alex-the-Goon. In turn, Alex-the-Goon was rushed, launching a brawl of sorts. Stenhouse Jr immediately removed left the infield as soon as the extra action started. And in it’s conclusion, there was Stenhouse Sr.'s with a 1” split (as the one Apollo gave Rocky) just below the eyebrow and Sammy requesting a band-aid from the EMTs.
At that point we all loaded up and went our merry ways.
