Minor League Teams, Managers Brawl In Front Of Hundreds Of Kids On Camp Day
This basebrawl, which went down between the Reds’ and Marlins’ single-A affiliates last week (with video only emerging yesterday), is already an excellent one: Roundhouse punches everywhere, coaches and managers raining blows on each other, total chaos. It’s made even better for having taken place o...

A Lot Of People Were Happy To See Yordano Ventura Get Thumped
I can’t recall a player or a team being so unrepentant—so proud—of a bench-clearing brawl as Manny Machado and the Orioles were of Machado charging the mound and delivering a haymaker/DDT combo. But then, I can’t recall a player that so many around baseball have wanted to see take a punch to the fac...
Blue Jays Call Rangers "Gutless" And "Cowardly" After Excellent Brawl
I believe with my whole heart that the seventh inning of last year’s ALDS Game 5—the non-interference throw back to the pitcher, the baby-soaking beer rain, Elvis Andrus’s meltdown, and ohmygod that bat flip—is the most entertaining inning of baseball ever played. That seven months later it is still...
The Saddest Little Leaguer
We can’t embed the video, so go watch this clip of an adult brawl at a Florida Little League game, shot from behind an immobile, heartbreakingly tiny catcher who can only look on at the carnage. Keep blocking that plate, you poor little guy....

22 Years Ago Today, Nolan Ryan Beat The Shit Out Of Robin Ventura
You charge the mound because you’re furious. Because you want to hurt someone. You know you’ll be ejected, fined, suspended, but it’s all worth it for brief taste of revenge. You never do it thinking that it all might go horribly wrong, and you might wind up on the receiving end of one of the most i...
The Royals And Blue Jays Hate Each Other And We're All Winners
So, here we go. The postseason series we’d get if there’s any justice in this world. Royals and Blue Jays, two newly resurgent franchises with big designs on October, and a sharp and abiding acrimony for each other that wasn’t satisfied by yesterday’s bench-clearing or name-calling....
Managers' Fistfight Causes Benches To Clear In Alaska League
You really have no excuses for not sticking with Wednesday’s Alaska Baseball League extra-inning barn-burner, but if you left before the 14th inning, you missed a doozy—two managers trading punches in foul territory....
Cubs' And Marlins' Benches Clear, And Everyone Immediately Apologizes
There were no punches thrown in the sixth-inning scrum during last night’s 7-3 Marlins win, and both sides quickly headed back to their own dugouts. In fact, it might have been one of the politest bench-clearings of all time, as the main instigator, Cubs outfielder Junior Lake, apologized unreserved...
Minor League Manager Doug Mientkiewicz Started A Huge Brawl
Longtime major leaguer Doug Mientkiewicz is now managing the Fort Myers Miracle, the Twins' high-A affiliate. And to say that Mientkiewicz was merely in the middle of this brawl on Saturday would be to understate it....
14 Innings And A Bench-Clearing Scrap: Just A Typical Red Sox-Rays Game
A nationally televised game that saw Tampa Bay overcome a 6-0 deficit, Boston take—and blow—a two-run 10th-inning lead, and a final out that wouldn't come until after midnight, and still all anyone could talk about was John Lackey plunking Matt Joyce. Here's a bold statement: Boston-Tampa Bay is the...

The Nationals And Cubs Need To Work On Their Bench-Clearing Brawl Technique
#NATITUDE was on full display tonight at Nationals Park as an inside pitch to Bryce Harper, preceded by some jawing between Nationals third base coach Bo Porter and Cubs bench coach Jamie Quirk, led to perhaps the most anticlimactic bench-clearing brawl in baseball history. Lots of pushing, some ye...

The Dodgers and Giants meet up again at AT&T Park starting tonight, which means there will be fights between Dodger and Giant fans in the stands, in the parking lot, in the gift shops probably.
