It's an off day and thanks to my having one more final to go, this afternoon's post is going to be a picture/video thread! Today's theme is baseball fights. While these mostly end up being less satisfying than Pacquiao vs. Mosley (seriously Mayweather, fight the man), they do tend to give some interesting pictures and the occasional worthwhile youtube video. Just like the other picture threads, leave your personal favorites in the comments.
FINISH HIM!
FATALITY!
Yorvit displays proper escape technique from a drowning victim. Thanks Red Cross!
Derrek Lee gets two for flinching.
Julian Tavarez uses flail. It's not very effective.
Why you don't fuck with Kyle Farnsworth: a three part photo-essay.
Part two: when you can see every flexor and extensor in someone's forearm, DON'T FIGHT THEM!
Part three: Paul Wilson did not just finish a pie eating contest.

you are so deleted from gchat.
pac-man agreed to undergo one two weeks before the fight.
the ball is in the court of the man with the legal issues.

Herm needs to offer his boxing clinic to the current WSox roster
the representation of the WSox players in that ESPN fight video was pretty pathetic.

Can someone explain
what’s with the hopping Korean players during their baseball “brawl”?

I watched the whole video thinking,
“Please don’t let Ventura/Ryan be #1, please don’t let Ventura/Ryan be #1…”
But I’ll admit, I lol’d. I guess time healed that wound. The 2005 part of time, most likely.

And correct me if I'm wrong, I haven't been in a fist fight since high school...
But it’s pretty fucking stupid to punch somebody in the top of the head, right? Especially for a multi-million dollar pitcher to be punching someone in the top of their head with their pitching hand.
No, Ventura isn’t a fighter, but Ryan a stupid POS. I really wish he would have broken his hand, never pitched again, then got AIDS when a pack of AIDS-wolves kidnapped and wolf-raped him. And then ate his pitching hand.

ventura never wanted to charge the mound
the sox players had a meeting before the game because ryan had hit them many times over the course of a few years and they decided that the 1st one to get hit today that that man, who ended up being the kindest man ever in ventura, had to charge the mound.

I think they should’ve shown the Ligue attack on Gamboa if they wanted to embarrass us. Spare Robin.

i never felt that bad about it. NR’s a hall of fame bad ass. Robin was great in his own right, but that’s what we should want out of our HoFers right? i wish it happened to someone else, but it is what it is.

I want a picture of this in my room
its an iconic piece of sox history!
I hope Kotsay gets hit by a dump truck and slips into a coma where he is stuck forever in Baseball purgatory having to bat against a three-headed, six-armed Lefty Hydra consisting of Billy Wagner, Damaso Marte, and Randy Johnson. - Shoeless In SC

AJ not falling down from the cheap shot
And then Pods of all people taking him down. And Brian Anderson putting the hurt on Mabry, doesn’t get much better than that.

Never understood why they threw AJ out of that game
Often forgotten about that game is Iguchi taking Cubs pissant and footnote to history Rich Hill yard for a grand slam 1 batter after the brawl. The Sox hit 11 grand slams in 2006, and 46% of their 236 home runs were multi-run homers. That’s pretty good.
(The highlight of Iguchi’s slam didn’t work on my browser..)
Wish the Juan Marichal/John Roseboro fight was on tape.
Wait, it is! Well, Marichal talks about it, anyway.

The BEST part:
After last April’s Chicago White Sox/Detroit Tigers bench-clearing brawl, the team sold 6,000 walk-up tickets for its next game — the total crowd of 15,461 was “unusually high” for a Monday night.
http://www.cbssports.com/b/page/pressbox/0,1328,3925738,00.html
Beware the cure isn't worse than the disease
number 6 all time by espn.
6. White Sox vs. Tigers (April 22, 2000)
Sixteen players, coaches and managers suspended. Nine others fined. It was, MLB said, “the biggest mass suspension ever.”
That was the end result of two brawls that erupted at Comiskey Park, one in the seventh inning, the other in the ninth. In the sixth, the Tigers Jeff Weaver hit Carlos Lee with a pitch. In retaliation, Chicago’s starter, Jim Parque, plunked Detroit’s Dean Palmer in the top of the seventh. Palmer charged the mound, throwing his helmet at Parque before the real action started.
“This wasn’t just a shoving match,” wrote Tom Gage in the Detroit News. “This was a nasty fight in which heavy punches were thrown and players were bloodied. White Sox reliever Keith Foulke had a facial cut that required five stitches.”
In the ninth, a couple more hit batsmen inspired another round of wrasslin’, kicking and fisticuffs. When it was all over, the umps had ejected 11.
Chris Osgood of the Red Wings was impressed. “It was a pretty vicious fight for a baseball game,” he said. “But they stood up for themselves pretty good. It’s a good way to build camaraderie.”

which you still have posted no picture of

How did this brawl not make the top ten?
It went on for about 20 minutes, and they basically threw out all but 9 guys on each team.

I was there that day. My father asked my sister and I if we wanted to goto the sox tigers game. It started at 1pm.
Fick got a beer shower in the old bullpen and magglio karate kicked half a dozen detroit fucks….I was there…this brawl made em o e o more than most.
i loved magglio before this...
but that fight cemented his legend.

yeah that had as much to do with bringing me back to baseball as the mcgwire/sosa season.
by 2001 i was all the way back.
UZR: Oh the underwear I’ve seen.
well the 2000 sox in general were a really fun team to watch.
frank was awesome…plus you had these new guys playing so well. Ordonez, Lee and konerko were awesome. the black cloud of Jamie Navarro was lifted… Valentin was hitting clutch homers every other night. it was a good time to be a sox fan. they took over first on april 19th and never let it go again.

ha! Anything set to Benny Hill is classic.
Judging by Traber’s waistline that had to be the most running he’s done at one time.
It's 106 miles to Chicago, we have a full tank of gas, 1/2 pack of cigarettes...it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses.
The lack of actual fighting skill in baseball fights is cringe-inducing
also, have we done a picture thread of “bats/balls flying into the stands?” Cant remember, but those are pretty great.
I shant be misled a second time
like this?
