[@bigrich6075]

That white Sox tigers fight was insane.

[@mikeharris6722]

One of the best bench-clearing brawls ever

[@jacobrichardson1952]

Shit load of suspensions.

4:02 "This is the serious WWF stuff, can you smell what the Rock is cooking."

Very 2000s comment

[@gomerhanger2285]

MLB was wild back then lmao

[@jacobrichardson1952]

As an old soul person for 2000, these brawls are very wild including the Tigers White Sox that's definitely a free for all.

I remember this day. Best overall brawls in one game that brought that WhiteSox team together they were really good after that day.

[@daniellinehan63]

Yes they were-they smoked the rest of the year

[@miniDrew4]

I've been a White Sox fan ever since lol.

[@americankulak2294]

The best call was always Rich Eisen on Sportscenter. It would go something like this: "Maddux drills Canseco, Canseco doesn't like it...and we are playing the feud!"

[@tricdaddy316]

Back when arrows were used to point out something specific instead of being used for clickbait

[@GoHeels2024]

seeing pedro get knocked out was so gratifying! RIP Gerald WIlliams

[@bryantoliveira2813]

So was him throwing a 1 hitter and shutting the Rays ass out after getting “knocked out”

[@kendlehill1445]

This is serious wwf stuff you can smell what the rock is cookin

[@timcollins3794]

Pedro got clocked.

[@jamesesterline]

5:12 And thus the Rays - Red Sox rivalry was born

[@cocho79]

Wow, that first one was all in one game? Awesome.

[@Jakalusafus]

The commentary onnthe first clip was flawless 👌

[@DrunkenSlob]

Imagine still having a mullet in 2000

[@Mr.NoName1972]

That Tigers and White Sox brawl was the biggest of the 2000's. Perhaps the biggest MLB brawl ever. The 1984 Padres and Braves brawl was a huge one as well.

So we're just gonna completely omit the Roger Clemens/Mike Piazza incident in the World Series? Okay.

[@pisspratt9002]

Don’t you think we’ve seen it enough?

[@MightyGandolf]

its always funny to me how the catcher seems to be the watch dog for the pitchers in case they get rushed lmao

[@brennanbarnes7628]

Jesus, those 2000 Tigers couldn't hit a baseball but my oh my did they have no problem hitting White Sox players in the face. Rare you see one teams players get owned so bad in a brawl but those White Sox just got crushed.

[@jpopegames341]

I mean if you think its ok to throw blind side cheap shots at ppl i guess

[@skippythealien9627]

@@jpopegames341 lol i hate the Sox but yeah that was a dirty hit the second Sox-Tigers brawl could have been avoided if the ump had thrown out the pitcher after the retaliation HBP but these umps were fucking useless lol

@@jpopegames341 oh it was dirty as all hell. Wasn't blasting White Sox as a team just observing that fight didn't go their way at all

[@rjb7569]

The late Gerald Williams drilled Pedro. Throw to intimidate, face the reaper. Joe Pepitone involved in a classic years back. Would love to see Pepi in action again if you can find the tape.

[@polopopolo2197]

Love these old clips and then I thought to myself, “gosh does ESPN suck now”

[@jacobrichardson1952]

You're probably right.

[@sure2fckitupguy]

I saw a player under the pile trying to couch out another player's eye.

[@hmhm856]

Ironically, Pedro Martinez - Gerald Williams - Roberto Hernandez - Brian Daubach - Jose Offerman, all 5 of them were teammates on the 2005 Mets

[@coylio33ify]

“He said ‘stars know when to make their entrance’” lmao sportscenter was great

[@russellthornton9283]

The Tigers and White Sox had quite the day that day with Rob Fick giving the Finger to the White Sox Fans. Devil Rays Pitcher Esteban Yan hitting Mariners Player Mark McLemore by the Pitch with a Timeout called was Hilarious 😆.

We really don't rush the mound like the good ole days. That Rockies hitter got smacked by that pitcher when he came out to fight. If you charge better be ready to go.

[@nicholasmedovich6729]

[@brax5353]

Posada is so soft

[@DjDobleU809]

Back when men had steak, bread and scotch for breakfast.

[@repentandknowjesus8674]

when you get hit you grab the catcher by his mask and pull down really hard and knee him in the face. This clears the way to the pitcher. Don't aim for the head, aim for his pitching hand, grabbing it and bending it backward breaking his wrist. The only way a pitcher will learn a lesson is when he can't pitch for 3-4 months. If the coach told him to do it make sure after the game to crack a bat across his face sending him the the morgue.

[@vengefulaid5780]

Knowing the batter always gets flattened, if I got hit with a pitch, I’m swinging the bat at the pitcher so I at least get the revenge in

[@Hyunju68]

pedro is crazy man

[@kylemc8851]

Look at that Dew 🤣

[@AntiPlatitude]

Sullivan absolutely cracked that dude. Hahaha

[@attinsona]

Joe Kerrigan's job on the Red Sox was to pull Pedro out of the pile.

[@hmhm856]

4:47 Did Galarraga really think that that was intentional? Two strikes, two outs, tie game in extra innings?

[@MoreBuffMoreMuff]

Why was baseball so ornery from 1995-2004? It's almost as if everyone had RAGE of some sort.

Posada got more than he bargained for.

[@tony_anello]

Always hated Pedro. Guy got himself and his teammates into a lot of trouble. 2:03 Kerrigan was telling him that his teammates are the ones who are going to be retaliated against.

[@duffy4040]

Love it when the catchers get walloped.

[@theaquariancontrarian3316]

2:58 it looks like his head was knocked off 😂😂😂

[@RM-lv1nt]

Throwing your helmet at the pitcher. What a punk move.

[@johnnynonagon4072]

Lmao not like all of these start with the pitcher throwing a fastball at someone or anything

[@matthewskaggs3527]

Baseball players are like gangs they can't fight one on one ever

[@vinniesanchez5160]

Fair to say if Pedro throws at my head and tries to knock me out of the game or get me hurt and ruin my possible career then the parking lot he'd get slic.ed up nice! Losing millions of dollars isn't gonna go well. He's an arrogant 175 pound punk!

[@min-yishen9324]

Go Jim Parque

[@Aidan88463]

Parque is my prospect u coach

[@mattyjones3516]

The league should put in a rule that if the catcher touches the batter after he is hit, the catcher is thrown out. That would lower the number of times batters are intentionally hit.
