In this chapter, I think Uno got mad not only because Danny accidently hurt Manny, but I think it's because Danny hit the ball farther than anyone has ever seen. But personally, I almost don't blame Uno for getting mad. If my brother ever got hurt and knocked out, I would go beserk too. But the only thing Uno can do after Danny hit that ball over two houses, is go up to Danny, and give him a pat on the back. Sure, he made history in the cul-de-sac, but it's nothing to fight over.
I think he resorted to violence because he was under a lot of stress, anger, and sadness. He had mixed emotions, which finally got to him and he knocked Danny out. I don't think he wanted to hurt anyone, but he was seeking revenge for his injured brother. Could he be mad because Danny set a new record? Maybe, maybe not. If I were in his position, the last thing that would be on my mind is that record. My thoughts would have been put on hold, and my fists would have done the talking. Just like in the book. But, look at it from a different angle, if he was mad about his record being beaten, then I would just be flustered. I wouldn't have any comments to say whatsoever.
