The 1st incident of the video is the one I remember the most & had the most profound effect on me. Watched it live on television when I was 7 years old. It had such an effect that I still think about it & talk about it to this day. Billy Martin's finest moment. For being 6'5" tall, Lerrin Lagrow ducked pretty good!
i was a couple years older but it was the first time i seen anybody throw a bat, i thought it was pretty cool myself though i hated the A's, i think the next one was pretty icky with big ol Rose beating up little Bud Harrelson just cause he got out.
A lot of baseball footage predating the 1980s has been long to history, but thankfully there is still some surviving footage like this to reflect on an earlier, more vintage era of baseball.
@@wilnerolivier7971 not even close. You’re forgetting the 49er dynasty and Dallas etc. far more than two superstars in the NFL during 80’s and 90’s. NFL was marketed much more than NBA. Games of week, Monday night football. This is the era where NFL commentators became famous.
@@wilnerolivier7971 baseball was MORE popular than football in the '70s! AND if you listen to what the guy said, he said from '81 on the NFL has been in the spotlight MORE than Major league baseball!
I was a teenager of the 70s and nothing beat Saturday afternoon 70s baseball. I get so nostalgic for it still. We got NBC in Toronto and Joe Garagiola and Tony Kubek will forever be part of my formative years.
Yeah... EVERY player was on them? Whatever! All you guys and your drug accusations always assuming the entire league was doing something is a bunch of horse sh*t. Just STFU!
I love these posts. BTW the Brett-Nettles fight in KC took place in Game 5, the deciding game of the 1977 ALCS. Neither man was ejected. Love old school baseball.
Would be interested in seeing footage of Ed Ott vs. Felix Millan, from August 1977 WOR televised the games that night, so hopefully there's a copy around.
At 6:20 you can see big Frank Howard, who was a coach for the Brewers, effortlessly move somebody from the pile. I always heard about Howard's strength.
@@jcneverquits During a fight When Frank Howard was manager of the Mets I saw him lift a player off a pile effortlessly like that player was a small child. Howard must have been incredibly strong.
@@NatTurnerswitBurnerz yes, money 💰 is everything now. It's why I couldn't care less about professional sports. In the 80s I could get a General Administration ticket to a Braves game for $5 and $1.75 for a hot dog and beer was $2 for a cup of beer. Now if you go with a family of 4 you'll need $200 - $400 for one game. I don't know how so many people can afford it now.
I work with a lot of older people who lament the fact that they are old and I’m like. You lived through the 60s 70s whatever it is. It’s an experience that’s irreplaceable and awesome. I would kill to see one day in those times so just be glad. All I got was Bill Clinton and Pokémon.
Ive seen some baseball, ive never seen a manager stand in front of the plate live ball, then, another player jumps in the box and both men swing. Umps lost control to say the least. Go Cubbies.
I must admit I cannot watch modern day sports for personal reasons, I love that I can watch the old games. I just watched the 1972 & '73 World Series followed by All Star games from that era, it's the best.
Also abandoned modern day pro sports for very personal reasons! 1972 & 1973 were 2 awesome years for MLB. Particularly if one was an Oakland A's or Cincinnati Reds fan.
Watch the 1971 All-Star Game. I was too young to remember that game, but I watched it a few years ago on CZcams. One of the best All-Star Games. Twenty-one future Hall of Fame players played in that game. Plus the game was held in my hometown park, Tiger Stadium.
@@bob8144 When Reggie Jackson homered, clearing the roof & striking the transformer tower in Right/Center field during that 71' All Star game, that was one homerun at Tiger Stadium that I'll forever remember!
Have Rod Carew and Bobby Grich laughed about that brawl shown in this video? They became teammates w the Angels later on. The days when pullover unis started off... ⚾️👊🏿💥😯
In the case of Mike Heath (4:40 Yankees at Angels) on the play before the one seen here, he was bowled over in the exact same fashion, but held on to the ball for the out.
Getting run over was legal. Blocking the plate was legal. Thirty years from now, CZcams will have highlights of umpires standing around next to the dugout with a headset on. Goody.
It's amazing how many of these fights involve Pete Rose and Billy Martin. These two red asses caused more mayhem and bad blood than anyone else in the seventies. Rose just kept running over people and Martin always had his teams emotionally on edge.
Pete Rose, what a waste! The way he maliciously & ruthlessly plowed over Ray Fosse, unnecessarily, during the 1970 All Star game was appalling. Even worse, he seriously injured Fosse's shoulder to the point that the incident completely hindered Fosse's potential of being the premiere Catcher in the American League. Fortunately, Fosse still went on to have a decent career, part of which was with the world champion Oakland A's in 1973 & 1974. That gambling fool, Rose, must, imperitively NEVER be inducted into the Hall of Fame. If he were to be, that would be the ultimate travesty of justice!
That fight with yankees and red sox always cracks me up, when after it simmers down Bill Lee gets up squawking like a Guiney hen and Nettles rat packs his azz, they dont show it here but Lee ended up being helped off the field and had a broken collar bone i think it was.
These video compilations are great & I'm sure like many I'm on a binge watching these & it's always nice to watch baseball from my era the 70's, 80's, & 90's when there was no woke agenda & no soy boys playing the game.
@@kencummings953 I was wondering what was going on there. If you’re a catcher and you block the plate, what do you think is going to happen? I remember as a kid trying to run over a guy that was twice my size and I bounced off of him like a tennis ball running into a telephone pole. I thought it was pretty funny.
One year Thurman Munson made only one error all year, when he was knocked cold on a play at the plate at Fenway. In the video shown, Nettles royally fkd up Bill Lee.
Fond memories of the 70"s when men were men and threw punches when the benches met each other on the field. Nowadays it's nothing more than a shoving match.
Love it, but these are on CZcams. You nailed the 80s, anymore never seen before, like the Reds Vs Astros…Cedeno vs Knight or That Cubs vs Giants brawl in the mid 70s with Madlock in the middle of it or Reggie Smith brawls?

I looked up 70s baseball fights, ended up here and I am not disappointed
I love those jackets the Angles wore with the state of California on them. Those are cool!
Angels had some good-looking uniforms during this period. They should go back to them.
Are you an Angels fan?
They should go back to being called the California Angels.

The 1972 playoffs. Oakland eventually won the series but the Tigers put up a good fight

70s baseball was so awesome
Except for the AstroTurf
I miss Billy Martin
2:00 a bench clearing incident is the only possible outcome when Lou Pinella runs over Carlton Fisk
A lot of baseball footage predating the 1980s has been long to history, but thankfully there is still some surviving footage like this to reflect on an earlier, more vintage era of baseball.
A common theme I've found in these videos is that Don Baylor has been present at a number of epic brawls.
My two favorite things - baseball and fighting. I get so much joy from these videos.
Reggie Jackson juiced up on steroids has to cheap shot people still.
70s baseball was great. It was more popular than the NFL in the 70s. The NFL has been the most watched American sport since 1981 or so.
You're wrong!! The NBA was more popular in the '80s & '90s thanks to Lakers/Celtics which featured Bird & Magic & the rise of Jordan & the Bulls.
Totally agree & I saw a great game @ WrigleyField a real shot out !! 23 - 22 Phillies beat Cubs & Mike Schmidt rookie year 3 home runs in that game .

Dudes all wound up on greenies back then lol these are some of the best bench clearing brawls I’ve ever seen
Yeah... EVERY player was on them? Whatever! All you guys and your drug accusations always assuming the entire league was doing something is a bunch of horse sh*t. Just STFU!
Yep. Greenies in the '70s, coke in the '80s, and 'roids in the '90s.
As an old soul person myself, Jesus Christ these 70s brawls are so hilarious 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Two great 3rd basemen ⚾️
Was the late tag a nose buster? What initiated the fight?
@@wesgilmer5391 If you watch the clip again, Nettles kicked Brett.
Two mean men who ment business
Love your video compilations, thanks for uploading
I really remember the Yankees/Red Sox fight at Yankee Stadium in 1976.
Dick Enberg on the call for Angels-Yankees.
I would also include the Giants-Cubs melee from 1976.
Would be interested in seeing footage of Ed Ott vs. Felix Millan, from August 1977 WOR televised the games that night, so hopefully there's a copy around.
Billy Martin trying to break up a fight? Usually he instigates one.
He's trying to go after Campaneris.
Actually, that Mets-Expos brawl happened in 1981. Great compilation though.
At 6:20 you can see big Frank Howard, who was a coach for the Brewers, effortlessly move somebody from the pile. I always heard about Howard's strength.
& how!
Good eye. That was definitely effortless! One handed
@@jcneverquits During a fight When Frank Howard was manager of the Mets I saw him lift a player off a pile effortlessly like that player was a small child. Howard must have been incredibly strong.
Joe “Shitfuck” Schultz in the first clip. Billy Martin’s 3rd Base Coach, and the legendary Seattle Pilot’s only skipper.
Yes, ole Schultzy! He & Billy were involved in so many bar room brawls together, it's mind boggling. His managing the Pilots was pretty hilarious!
Brett and Nettles are actually…we’re actually good friends.
The last one was 1980. Gullickson debuted that year.
04:30 That's Rod Carew smacking Grich. Carew was a great player and Grich deserved it.
Funny thing is the following season they became teammates for 7 seasons.
Grich was no slouch
Do not end up on the ground! Because when you end up on the ground, you open yourself up for a LOT of
"sucker punches"!
Those Yankee teams of the 70s were some tough SOBs!
The players cared more about the game than they do today. It was about team pride and playing the game the right way.
Today, sports is big business. It wasn't like that in those days. It's not about the players.

2:13 i love when they push the umpire 😂😂😂😂
Awesome how many times it seems Billy Martin appeared in this.
Aaahh, the good ole days.
What the hell was 1:30? That really happened?
Hrabosky was famous for stalling so batters would step out and do the same thing to him. The umpire is to blame for that mess.

Awesome vid
May have been 1980 or 81 where Detroit and Minnesota had a Donnybrook where Enos Cabell got in some legit shots.
Don't forget Champ Summers, a boxer's son and army vet who was about the most dangerous Tiger you will ever see in a rhubarb.
Larry Herndon got in some good kicks, too. Tigers pitcher, Dave Rozema, injured his leg trying to perform a flying karate kick.
That was 1982.
No soft soaping this era. It was always a battle.
Damn l miss this part of the game, raw instinctive emotions.
Yes, genius, because we all know, today's athletes never fight, today😂 😂 😂
@@vicepresidentmikepence889 not like this. They just chirp back and forth unless it’s hockey.
Shag Crawford was the Angel Hernandez of the 6os and 70s.

No challenge replays, no inter-league, no Angel Hernandez.

...and in the 80's, Lansford and Heath were teammates in Oakland!
Doesn't always matter. Carlos Zambrano hated Jim Edmonds so much that being teammates in 2008 did nothing to alleviate it.
The Angels are Orange and Riverside counties team.
Like the Dodgers are LA and San Bernardino counties team.
Wild Baseball!!!!!!

Also, Pirates-Braves in 1979.
Game 2 of the 1972 ALCS did Billy Martin order Lerrin La Grow to hit Bert Campaneris
can't believe catchers coming up swinging after plays at the plate. Getting run over when blocking the plate was perfectly legal back then.
In the case of Mike Heath (4:40 Yankees at Angels) on the play before the one seen here, he was bowled over in the exact same fashion, but held on to the ball for the out.

Am I crazy thinking every pitcher that threw at me wasn't complimenting me by saying I don't want none of your stick here's a free ride???
In case you thought baseball players were small in the 70s. They weren't.
LOL! Like whose ass is Billy Martin going to kick?
When baseball was real...

There was nothing wrong with what Carney Lansford did to Mike Heath. Just a tough play
Probably not but I think that was the second time Heath had been bowled over in that inning.

WTF- you repeatedly show guys standing around when it's over, but then cut away from the actual fights in progress when there's a real one...
Billy Martin? Check. Pete Rose? Check. l think we're done here.
1:34 has to be the result of coke or meth or both. Gotta be
Cubs had a bunch of fights over the years. I guess they were frustrated from losing so much. Haha
No surprise George Brett was in on one of these The Royals and Yankees hated each other big time
The Royals were the Yankees AAAA affiliate for a long time.
@@TheFaithfulAtheist the royals were born in 1969. A’s were in KC before that
@@Jleed989 that was (somewhat) sarcastic. NYY pulled a lot of talent from KC's farm system in the past.
Back when half thess dudes were on drugs lmao, love the chaos
🤣Redsox really don't like the Yankees!
