Joc Pederson shares photo of meme he sent that upset Tommy Pham

Joc Pederson came with the receipts following his altercation with Tommy Pham on Friday.

Pham slapped Pederson prior to Friday night’s San Francisco Giants and Cincinnati Reds game. Word later emerged that the fight stemmed over a fantasy football league dispute.

But there was more to it than just that.

Pham felt that Pederson was cheating in a league that cost a lot of money (Pederson argued that he wasn’t cheating). Pham also felt disrespected by some trash talk Pederson had for the San Diego Padres, which was Pham’s team at the time.

On Saturday, Pederson read from the group chat between the fantasy football participants so that reporters could get the full story. He even shared the GIF he sent that upset Pham.

“It is true, I did send a GIF making fun of the Padres, and if I hurt anyone’s feelings I apologize for that.” pic.twitter.com/lE0enI2Ril

That was around last September. A few weeks later, Pham dropped out the league. Pederson confirmed "there was a lot of money involved in it."

About seven months later, Pham slapped Pederson across the face.
