Torri Hunter throwing the ball back at the pitcher lmao epic

[@ofallmyintention9496]

1:56 Man, I love old school SportsCenter.

[@nedwart]

RIP Jerry Remy

[@s.tavares3257]

Izzy Alcantara kicking the catcher and then fighting the whole team by himself was gangster lol .

[@1964American]

That guy was great trying to take on everyone! Come on I'll kick all your asses!

[@clockehvac1240]

Izzy and that Garrett guy from 2019 are two of the most gangster baseball players ever. LOL. Garrett took on the hole pirates dugout

[@sketchyold]

That’s not “gangster.” The mafia wouldn’t do that.

[@GregoryWeagle]

@@clockehvac1240 Izzy's was original. There is footage from the 1990's of players going after players in the dugout before.

[@brianhildreth9099]

Don't piss off Varitek.

[@tfarm7015]

Torri Hunter with a great throw, you should be allowed to get a free shot on the pitcher like that if the pitch was deemed intentional

[@davidwallace3078]

This my childhood right here!!! Good times lol

[@ColbyePresents]

*Youre out of control!!! Hell yeah I love this channel!!!*

[@peterframtid5168]

Damn that body slam in the Tigers/Royals clip was crazy

[@DarkChaosGaming]

Sadly I could have gone to this game but didn't :(

[@jacobrichardson1952]

As a 2001 baby 🍼 I NEVER knew how my year is wild 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@bkollective]

Finally some videos that I haven't seen before

[@victorburnett6329]

Torii Hunter nailing dude with the ball was hilarious.

[@tony_anello]

I see Varitek has always fought with his catcher's gear on. Somehow got into and out of a scuffle with his glove still completely on.

[@greatestnitemare6626]

Varitek was always a loser

[@jayballard9944]

What's he supposed to do?? Take his gear off first??

[@GoHeels2024]

he aint really want that smoke

[@GoHeels2024]

@@jayballard9944 yeah! if u gonna fight then do it right. take off that mask and glove

[@marcovehurley]

This channel is gonna blow up

[@barbar17404]

You're doing amazing with a series of videos. Love it

[@KentuckyWaterfall13]

At 5:37 when Hunter got hit he recently said “I was an angry young man at that time.”

[@travisp5747]

I don’t think I’ve ever seen him get hit and not be pissed AF lmao

[@austintaylor6152]

Bro that dude just karate kicked the catcher

[@deeziiklyer8027]

This is when ⚾️ was ⚾️.

[@stephaniemalley5162]

Oh my gosh!John Rocker as pitcher,

[@jacobrichardson1952]

Finally, I've been waiting for this!

[@recklessralphfromqueens8383]

Varitek was always with the shit.

[@rremo2076]

dont ever get ugeth urbina mad…

[@zach7193]

Heard about the Rhodes ejection from Matthew Hicks. Seen the Torii Hunter ejection from another channel. Looks like he got shot. The Orioles and Red Sox fight was something else.

[@Pemexdoom]

Thanks

[@triggertimetraining6963]

Nothing like watching guys fight who don’t know how to fight.

[@Mike7911779]

2:40 Mike Darr 2/15/02 RIP

[@chrislewis5069]

It's funny that a hitter throwing a ball back at a pitcher would be an automatic ejection since the pitcher just did the same

[@gforce97]

funny enough, Dusty replaces matt williams as Nationals manager around 15 years after this lol

[@dashauncarney9651]

Seeing the Royals beat on the same Tigers team that cheap shotted the Chicago White Sox to hell in a brawl a year earlier I'm pretty sure was great TV for White Sox fans.

[@vaughnmild7563]

It was nice to see Fick get the shit kicked outta him in THIS video. Couldn't stand that guy after the brawl u mentioned. GO SOX!

[@DarkChaosGaming]

I could have been at this game, but I didn't go cause I thought it would be boring :(

[@neddoh4300]

These guys need to learn some mma skills

[@damienchance2622]

Same thing with NHL and NFL players too

[@mwhack3262]

Baseball fight! Get out the bandaids

[@thecobaltchomp]

I actually threw at Jenkins with Morris in All Star Baseball 04 for the GameCube lol

[@jacobrichardson1952]

No shit 🤣

[@jebjebson8743]

The music rules

[@atthecabin4995]

5:40 The pitcher must have forgotten he had a glove on. Looked like he could of caught that.

[@jasonnoble3971]

I legitimately miss the steroid era of baseball.

[@stephengrinkley9889]

It's surprising that Izzy Alcantara essentially Karate kicked someone in the face with metal spikes and only got 6 games. The pitch didn't even hit him. You'd think that an incident like that for basically a "meh" career minor leaguer would've been the end of his career.

[@willardwhitfield8363]

That's how you do,take out the catcher then free run at the pitcher!

[@estelagoncalvez1892]

Even they fights were better

[@estelagoncalvez1892]

The

[@ronveri2838]

use the bats......hit you with ball hit them back with a bat.

[@ryanmorrissey4087]

So much steroids in this video

[@sarge6870]

Wow...looking at the quality of the upload I ask, are we in 2022 or 1922???

[@brianhildreth9099]

Right, because these clips are easily found in perfect quality.... 🙄

[@pisspratt9002]

Bro this sportscenter music is making me feel things

[@jacobrichardson1952]

Brings back memories yo.
