Fight Night [Part 2]
Didn't think I'd come back to this theme. Way back at the start of this blog, I did a quick set of cards featuring some notable fighting shots. Since then I've only found more wonderful battles. Picture quality may be sketchy, but the battles are timeless.
This was the matchup in Cleveland. It did not end well for Anderson. Just like his card, his fighting skills were found to be lacking as he got punched in his big mouth and went down like a ton of bricks.
"Down goes Anderson! Down goes Anderson!"
Poor Scott Podsednik. Just trying to make a play and a fan sucker punches him.

George Bell proving that sometimes punching a guy is overrated. Instead do a jump kick!
Charlie Hayes never got a 2000 Showdown card. No matter since it gives me a chance to show off his attack on Todd Stottlemyre. Those two were jawing way back in spring training and things finally exploded in the season.
Kenny Rogers had good years and bad. Obviously he was going through a bad stretch when he took out some aggression against a poor cameraman.
Not only do you NOT want to pick a fight with a guy named "Slaughter" but just look at how he looks after a brawl! Enos comes ready to rumble!
In 1974, Randle did not appreciate a brushback pitch, so he drops a bunt down the first base line, which puts the fielding pitcher in range for him to get some revenge in the form of a running body check like this is hockey or something. A brawl ensues, naturally. Not the best quality for a photo, but man, I couldn't resist a chance to utilize that classic cowboy hat logo.
