    Soto was involved in a few dust ups. Here's another where Claudell Washington tried the ole "pretend to lose the bat" gambit to get at Soto: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bt0ftk6kFoA

    Not quite a fight, but George Brett trying to go after Tim McClelland was an all-timer.

    It also made the "Beanbrawl!" Cover of SI.

    No video of this for obvious reasons, but I would have loved to have seen John McGraw vs Boston in 1894

    Mark Whiten hammering Jack McDowell.

    It didn't develop into a fight but Matt Stairs challenging the Yankees dugout in the aftermath of the ARod- Howie Clark thing was badass.

    Surprised McGraw ever made it out alive, much less be able to return to Boston. You'd think a mob would have strung him up on the Common.

    A bunch of things stick out about the George Brett-Graig Nettles brawl in 1977:

    --It was Game 5 of the ALCS.
    --Ron Guidry, seen backing up, gets in the middle and helps tackle Brett
    --Chambliss and Munson joined the fray.
    --It helped fuel the Royals-Yankees rivalry in the late '70s and early '80s
    --NOBODY got tossed.

    The video is great because you also get to hear Rizzuto, White and Messer call it and you see Billy Martin walking 5-foot-4 Freddy Patek away from the scuffle

    Forgot about Whiten-McDowell. An awkward looking over hand right that did pretty big damage. Nice pull.

    I also remember Stottlemyre hitting Mitch Webster in Cleveland and meeting him at 30 feet, 3 inches.

    Watching the 1977 ALCS Game 5 brawl again.

    I'd never really noticed Billy Martin with an arm around Fred Patek to keep The Flea out of the fight. Frickin' hilarious.
