For a family of 4 in 1989, this game was probably around $30 including concessions. You get baseball, Crackerjacks, hotdogs, some soft drinks, and free wrestling! Talk about fun for the whole family at an economical price!

[@johnnyheaters4205]

[@jeanluc1313]

No way. It was significantly more than that for even minor league game.

[@raypowers8083]

Probably in the neighborhood of $70, which is still less than a single box seat today.

[@rshrsh5420]

What's CRAZY about this whole thing was it "started" at home plate, then went up the third base line. Then gravitates to the pitchers mound area, then back toward third base. Just when you think it's over...BOOM...back to the pitchers mound, up into right field, then to the bullpen area and then back into right field...This was EPIC!!!

The best baseball brawl EVER! I grew up in Wisconsin so I watched alot of Brewers games. Saw this live when it happened at he Kingdiome. These guys really hated each other. It stretched on long, I can't think of anything that has ever matched it in punches thrown and length of fight.

[@chrisflores6917]

My favorite brawl of all time.

[@beverett417]

Best Baseball fight ever! Ranks up there with Mets vs Reds in 86, Giants vs Cardinals in 87 and Braves vs Padres in 84. Best 3 fights in my era.

Agreed!!!

[@3243_]

Angels-Yankees in 1984, Phillies-Mets in 1990, Astros-Reds in '95, Astros-Expos a year later, Angels-Royals in 1998, and White Sox-Tigers in 2000 were also pretty intense.

[@JohnMegaton2062]

White Sox vs Tigers 2000. That one drew blood.

[@3243_]

And actually, the Giants and Cardinals fought in 1986 and '88. They took a season off from brawling with each other in 1987.

[@LucasPalYT]

How did the Mariners never win a world series with this team?!!!!

[@stevensuarez4843]

They came close in 95.

[@s.tavares3257]

They weren’t that good 79-66. The 2001 team if anything “should’ve” been the Mariners team to win the World Series.. they finished 116-46. Tied for most wins in a single season.

[@AngusArtEntertainment]

@@s.tavares3257 That's the problem. So much was on them to try to break that record, and when you spend your energy trying to rack up all those wins, it later comes back to bite you. Look at the 1906 Cubs. They originally set that record, didn't even win the Series.

[@djtrixen]

I always LOL @ all the mullets in these old baseball videos.

[@TL2354]

A nice 3 days for MLB, the day before there was 2 no-hitters thrown and the day after this Andy Hawkins threw a losing no-hitter but it didn’t count because it was only 8 innings

[@MichaelWalker-wu2pq]

[@jaredcarrick3468]

This one ranks right up there with the old Mariners-Orioles brawl from around the same time period at Camden. Seems like the Mariners were always involved in the most entertaining brawls in baseball. Like the other one I mentioned, this one had multiple different scuffles break out on multiple occasions.... just when it looked like things were settling down 😂 It was like everyone was calming down, and then suddenly you see bodies start flying again and more punches being thrown and it gets wild all over again like the brawl isn’t going to end 😂

[@44MagnumHitman]

Don't forget the Padres-Braves brawl from the 80s, that one went on for over 20 minutes and also involved fans throwing stuff into the Padres dugout...plus players previously ejected came back out to yell, point fingers, and start it back up lol.

[@bravesrule384]

​@@44MagnumHitman - that particular brawl happened back in 1984 and this one between the Brewers and Mariners from 1990 ranks pretty close

Its no surprise Jeff Schaefer got ejected. He was always a brawler. I was present at a brawl he started in Spring Training 1989 when he was with the White Sox. Jim Sundberg of the Rangers slid into him hard at second base. I didn't know Spring Training brawls were a thing until then.

Milwaukee had Dave Parker, Don Baylor (as a coach but just two years removed as a player), Rob Deer, Greg Vaughn, Ron Robinson, an entire starting rotation that was at least 6-3 (except for Teddy Higuera), even closer Dan Plesac was 6-5 and a very young Gary Sheffield. Milwaukee was HUGE that season. They were the last team you would wand to fight back then.

[@c.l.freeman7654]

Good old 45, Rob Deer. The Mariners were probably lucky he was a gentle deer and peacemaker that day. That guy would either strike out or hit a home run and was my favorite player growing up

[@googlewantstoknowyourlocat1115]

Favorite? I hated that guy when he was on the Tigers in the early 90's. I was 10-12 age. He mostly struck out but had an occasional home run. He pissed me off more than anyone. He was #44 when he came to Detroit. Cecil Fielder had #45.

[@KTF0]

Dude would bat .179 then have a .330 OBP. Quite a unique player. Adam Dunn before Adam Dunn.

[@mcgoodle]

I grew up an Angels fan and I loved it when the Tigers came to town. I would marvel at Rob Deer's freakish stats (for example) in 1991; 25 homers, only 64 RBIs, 175 (!) strikeouts and a .179 BA! That's some crazy stuff right there.
