Best brawl Yankees / Oreoles 1998 Tino gets hit by pitch brawl starts on field goes into Oreoles dugout.
I live in the Detroit area and I was commenting on what I heard on the radio after I came out of the store. The brawl was already in progress and I’m sure I missed or misunderstood some of what happened. Sorry for any confusion.
Hand-off, 2 yards, watch 10 replays; hand-off, 2 yards, watch 10 replays; long pass, drop, watch 10 replays; punt ball, run 10 yards, watch 5 replays, watch 5 commercials....
Yeah I wonder if the catcher had FB or wrestling experience. He didn’t hesitate to take him down fast.
Baseball is America's soccer.
/ducks for cover
You might want to watch the video again dude, especially between the 4 and 8 second mark before the other players intervened....Cabrera was all over Romine like a stud mule over a female in heat......LOL!
Watch it again........
My favorite.
Anyone who beats up on the Yankees gets applause from this Red Sox fan, heh heh....
Must have been $1 beer night?
And that wasn’t the only incident in that game.
it reminded me of another Yankees brawl, in 1998 with the Orioles. Bernie Williams had just hit a homerun off Orioles closer Armando Benitez, so Benitez threw at the next better, Tino Martinez. A major fight ensued, which involved relievers Graeme Lloyd and Jeff Nelson vaulting over the bullpen wall. It wound up with Darryl Strawberry standing in the Orioles’ dugout, bat in hand.
After the dust settled, Tim Raines hit another homerun.
The quality is poor because it's an old clip from the 1970s, but this has to be one of the greatest hockey brawls of all time -- for a couple of reasons:
Montreal Canadiens vs. Philadelphia Flyers
1. Philadelphia's Dave "The Hammer" Schultz, one of the most feared fighters in the league, gets manhandled by Montreal's Hall of Fame defenseman Larry Robinson.
2. At the very end of the clip while things are being sorted out by the officials on the ice, it looks like Robinson takes a sip of beer from a cup handed over the glass by a fan. LMAO.
The best part is watching the guys around the outside of the brawl. “c’mon!! Just let me at’em”. Sorta like the Three Stooges.
The Tigers’ Michael Fulmer had hit Gary Sanchez. No action was taken, and no warnings were issued. (BTW, I hate the warning rule.)
Tommy Kahnle threw behind Miguel Cabrera. Didn’t hit him. Kahnle was ejected. Joe Girardi was furious that his pitcher had been ejected with no warnings having been issued. he came out and argued, and he was ejected.
Once the dust had seemingly settled, Aroldis Chapman was brought in to face Cabrera. Cabrera stepped in and began jawing at Yankees catcher Austin Romine, who jawed at him right back. Cabrera shoved Romine. They traded punches, and the benches cleared. Cabrera and Romine got ejected.
In the seventh, Tigers catcher James McCann was hit in the head by Yankees reliever Dellin Betances. McCann went down, but was OK. Betances was ejected. (If you’re hitting someone on purpose, you don’t hit him in the head. Umpires know that.) But they ejected Betances and bench coach Rob Thompson, who had taken over as manager on Girardi’s ejection.
In the eighth, Tigers pitcher Alex Wilson hit Todd Frazier (deliberately.) Benches cleared again.
Quite a ballgame, with many ejections. I’m not sure these umpires know what they’re doing.

Is that what you wanted to see? It certainly isn't what happened.
On the other hand, if that is what you "saw," you had better visit your ophthalmologist forthwith.
>>Best baseball brawl I’ve seen in years. Video at link.<<
Considering not a single blow actually landed and it was a lot of flailing and grabbing of waists it looked like the Gay Cabellaros vs. the Bathhouse Boys.
No one in MLB actually fights anymore — they just flail.
The home plate umpire screwed up by ejecting a pitcher before giving both team warnings. Had he done his job properly, it all could have been avoided.
So you didn’t think that was a good double leg take down?
If I was his coach I would have told him he did it correctly, efficiently and timed it just right.
What film is that from?
That was a fight? It was a shove, then a missed punch that hit nothing but air, and then a short wrestling match. Not much of a fight.
