Sports Illustrated has a slideshow of ten "Notorious Basebrawls."
I gotta say, I seem to remember when I was a kid seeing many fights far more ferocious than these. Does anybody else recall George Brett being held in foul territory by one guy while another bloodied his face? They should have done more research into the 80s.
Unfortunately, my beloved Cubbies seem to be over-represented, and always on the instigating side. I remember watching in disbelief when Kyle Farnsworth tackled and pummeled Paul Wilson in 2003.
Bonus points to whoever can say what these two pictures have in common.
I should also add that I don't condone physical violence as a way to resolve disputes. Unless the S.O.B. really deserves it.
