“Maybe it’s something about Dominicans named Perez on I-285.” Hahaha!

On thing I find surprising Inda:
I didn’t realize you were old enough to remember the brawl.
And I thought I was old. Wow. You are almost a geriatric!

Joe Torre and Sam Perlozzo are in both of those brawls. What is it about those guys that makes the other team throw at their batters?

No mention of his efforts to pick off a runner at first by throwing over through his legs?

i still don’t forgive him for that kick…and i can’t stand the cards. just a crappy, cowardly act.

and in the video, i enjoyed that both the pitcher and the batter just got the hell out of the way.

Here’s MLB’s video, it’s only 7 min long. The full vid was 15 min:

Tim Flannery right in the middle of it. Good to see he’s still just as fiery today!

A brawl the likes of which you never ever see in the majors anymore.

The Tino Martinez/Armando Benitez Brawl in ’98 is far far worse. The whole ordeal took about 15 min, there was Strawberry chasing Benitez into the dugout throwing the mother of all haymakers at him, Graeme Lloyd doing the crazy reliever chasing after anyone thing, and, what everyone forgets, Tim Raines hitting the first pitch for a HR. I’m desparately searching for a video, by MLB sucks in asking people to remove youtube vids. If you find one, I’ll download a copy and reupload to youtube in case MLB is watching.

And negative nerd points for you Craig, to linking a wiki page to Leeroy Jenkins. For full nerd cred, at least link the original video:

And, not one kick to the head. Maybe a certain Reds pitcher should be watching this….

@Craig, there was a Mets-Reds fight around 1987 or 1988 at Shea Stadium that was just as bad if not worse. Either Tom Browning or one of the Nasty Boys (Dibble, Myers, Charlton) was throwing at Mets left and right. Darryl Strawberry and Howard Johnson attempted to get into the Cincinnati clubhouse from underneath the field but security wouldn’t let them in.

I-285 is a very tricky beltway to navigate. Once you get on that beltway, it is almost impossible to get out of it. I can’t be the only one who has gotten lost on that road… twice. Maybe it’s something about Dominicans named Perez on I-285.

I actually remember that brawl in 1984. Pretty ugly.

RIP Pascual.

“Though we’d all be horrified at such a thing happening in a game today”

Of all the horrifying things in life, a baseball brawl is not one of them.
