I think its hilarious that the MLB uploads videos of fights themselves.
+Taj “BDBandit” B I works for the NHL.
TheNKillham I mean yea but its part of the sport. It would be cool if fighting was allowed in baseball, especially back in the steroid era.
+Taj “BDBandit” B Lol like its still not full of steroids?
+Garret Kelley It's still not the "steroid era" in 2015
ha
I wish i had a friend like Scotty Pods
@William Campbell like barret?
William Campbell he didn’t sucker punch anyone.. everyone k owe the cubs are perverts and take every opportunity to molest their opponents, pods was stopping a forcible rape by Michelle barret
That's right.
@@Smegma_pirate tf
you have crappy friends dude
Still one of the greatest moments in Baseball in the recent decades. So glad to be from Chicago.
Damn, I miss the 2004-2009 White Sox. Amazing club.
same they weren't the best through some games but they still had the best relationships with each other
This was the Windy City Series at its peak
@Clippa Marshall AtmosphereTV lul
I don't! Go cubs!!!!!
@@tristanrivers8674Paulie is the best!
This is baseball!
No, this is Patrick.
xof49 is this the krusty krab
xof49 No I'm Patrick........................................
Is this the krusty krab?

Pierzynski looks like Jon Gruden
*Pierzynski behind the plate, going through his signals* *Buehrle squints in confusion* *Pierzynski walks out to the mound*
Buehrle: "I don't understand what you mean by 'Spider 2 Y Banana.'"
...I can see it now. Geez.
best moment in the Cubs-Sox rivalry since 1906
The year the Sox beat the 116 win Baby Bears in the World Series, the only all-Chicago World Series.
Baseball! We need BASEBALL!
THIS. IS. BASEBAAALL!
I'm a Red Sox and never been a White Sox fan, but I loved this 2006 CHW team. Konerko, Thome, Dye, Crede, AJ Pierzynski, Podsednik, etc.
Ironically this White Sox team did not go back to the postseason even though they were probably better than the team that won the WS the year before.
@@vladiator8120 Yeah better on paper for sure, but in 05 so many players happened to have really great years all at the same time, especially the pitchers
@@Whitsoxrule1 especially the three stooges. Sox fans know who.
Yup, super cool team. As a BoSox fan I still remember rooting for Ozzie and co. in the 05 World Series. They were loaded and fun to watch.
2005 WS. I felt so bad that Frank Thomas was lost for the year
This is classic Chicago baseball! What an iconic play with a post season type atmosphere.
Go White Sox always
I'm a Cubs fan, but major points to Scott Podsednik for standing up for his teammate.
Yeah the Sox and their fans are trash and always will be
Kamuri Guy I don’t like the Sox much but I’ve met some really good fans of them
You ain't no Cubs fan! You French!
@@chainmail5886 Cubs Killa
@@dylanmurphy7630Cubs were really bad that year if it was 2006. The finished last in NL Central, and I think they had worst record in league. We had to endure 10 more years.
I went to this game and it was great. Greatest baseball game of my life
I was there too. Left field bleachers. Gotto see a southside girl beatdown 4 female cub fans. Good times.
reminds me of the classic Onion headline, "Everyone in Baseball Suspect in Murder of AJ Pierzynski"
Born in 1995, can honestly say this was one of my favorite moments of White Sox history that I have seen
@William Campbell better than wearing a dress on addison and LIKING it wahman.
Born in 95 too, what a moment this was
LOL still pissed to this day my dad had tickets to this game but didn't want to wake me up cause at the time I was working about 60 hours a week. So instead he takes my uncle who literally knows nothing about baseball. I was still a huge baseball fan at the time, played from age 4-20, was about 23-24 at the time. Had/have been to many games but never saw a team fight and ALWAYS wanted to (what are the odds of seeing one, right? Let alone Cubs/Sox team fight?!?!?!!). LOL I guess his heart was in the right place but still...
Lesson learned: don't work 60 hours a week.
that is fuqq'd. my condolences
If you've been playing baseball and love it you should've made it as your career instead and then maybe you'll be able to see the fights up close and personal!
@@joshwonkim0895 Well, becoming a MLB player is pretty tough (the odds of playing college ball and then getting drafted are 0.0074% with even then many failing to play in the major leagues) and just because he loved baseball doesn't mean he wants to do it as a career.
In Wrestling terms...Barrett hit Pierzynski with a Bull Hammer
Barrett was a little salty bitch. :) I remember that.
I'm afraid I have some bad news!
***** yer ma
Jeff Wonders I guesd
In real life terms, Barrett hit Pierzynski with something just below a love tap.
I remember this brawl it was the greatest thing in crosstown history!!
This fight perfectly encapsulates how the Southside and Northside of Chicago feel about each other.
Yea, I’m all southside. I grew up in south west of Chicago so I obviously love my Sox
@@WhoDaF0ok1sThatGuy same Southside
Go cubs!
I remember getting yelled at in the kitchen as a kid and my dad turns to the TV and yells "THERE'S A FIGHT!" And I looked over right in time to see AJ get clocked in the face.
Jesus this was ten years ago
im getting to fucking old
Me too
Are you feeling it now Mr. Krabs?
16 years now. :/
👦->👴
@@chainmail5886 poor u roach
Barrett's punch is probably the only punch that has ever landed in a MLB brawl.
What?
Have you ever seen any mlb brawls? Seriously? I’ve watched baseball for going on 40 years. I’ve seen probably thousands of punches land. Especially odor punching Bautista.
@@Denverbroncos87 he wrote that comment 10-11 years ago
Jose Ramirez
Not anymore 🤣🤣🤣
@@Bembesito “DOWN GOES ANDERSON!!!”
Punch AJ got him into the All-Star game in '06. Good times.
nice profile pic, bruh!
@Matthew Fudacz same profile pic
Never stand on the tracks with a loaded train comin thru. The ball was not in barretts glove.
So he should not try to field it?
@@ethanfoster2601 Did you want AJ to politely go around him? He would have been tagged.
@@ethanfoster2601are you purposely being this dense? Or are you just terminally hopeless?
At every other base the fielder must grant a path to the base, same thing goes for home plate. Difference being the catcher has “armor” on, and should be able to eat a railroad collision, if he decides to block the plate.
That was another rough year for the Cubs, but this was a memorable moment, that's for damn sure.
It's a shame how this rivalry couldn't be truly great with both teams consistently winning titles throughout the years.
God I miss this white sox unit.
RM 2100 Yep too bad your team is shit now Go Cubs
312vandal you mad cause your team is shit now lmfao
312vandal oh and how many times has the Sox’s stadium changed names cause no one wants to sponsor a dying franchise? I honestly have no clue what it’s called anymore because the Sox have been irrelevant since 07.
Jacob Thorson lmao remember when the cubs were straight garbage in 2013 and your club owner wanted to move out of Wrigley for a “Change” 😂
William Ellis I remember how the only good pitcher you’ve had in the past ten years was Chris Sale
I was born and raised in Moline, Illinois I am a loyal Chicago Cub fan now for 55 years and there is NO LOSS of LOVE between the Chicago White Sox and us.
Donna O'Bryan there's just loss. lots and lots of loss.
Anytime a player has a chance to punch A.J. take it.
Lol players have the same motto when running on Matt Murton's puss arm is in left field
I watched the video in slow motion to make sure it was an accidental shoving incident, the Barrett guy didn't have no right to punch him in the face. The Cubs fucker is an idiot, that shove was not purposely done from you can clearly spot out, sometimes you have mistakes. Geez, dumbass just straight up threw some swing for no reason out of stupidity.
Barretts managing a McDonalds last I heard😄
A.J. Pierzynski is a punk, deserved getting slugged, and please use proper English if you're going to post.
After this incident Barrett received many thank you calls from players around both leagues
For sucker punching another baseball player? I don't buy that one bit! What's your favorite Kool-aid?
@user-bc6ok1yh4s Maybe because he stood up to getting barreled for no reason? There's a reason this is illegal now
AJ got the love of WS fans. Screw what others think.
@@ethanfoster2601What do you mean for no reason? AJ would have scored easily if Barehead wasn't in baseline.
I would say Bonehead Barrett got the worse of that deal.
"The base paths belonged to me, the runner. The rules gave me the right. I always went into a bag full speed, feet first. I had sharp spikes on my shoes. If the baseman stood where he had no business to be and got hurt, that was his fault." - Ty Cobb
“You play to win the game.” Thank you AJ!
15 years ago. i feel old lol
Michael Barrett just became my hero
Bug4566 Well he's now bagging groceries and have an irrelevant career to that of AJ's
TommyCage0736 hahaha yup. No one wanted him a year or two after this and had to retire. Aj still making mills and is the best bat the braves have right now.
TheNawtep *Cough* Freeman, Markakis, and Maybin *Cough Cough*
Bug4566 Barrett's just a B-FARM player, a piece of shit minor league bench warmer.
TheNawtep AJ has been voted the most POS player in baseball many years...you keep being proud of that.
THEY FROM CHICAGO SO THEY KNOW HOW TO FIGHT
Yeah that would explain the gun violence
AJ and Barrett are from florida and Scotty Pods is from Texas.
both probably have better grammar and only use all CAPS when necessary and see Dario's comment
Nick Robinson they PLAYED in Chicago, most of em ain’t from Chicago
@@ninjaastarr92 do they have guns in their hands???
The Sox would win big in this one. But if memory serves, Michael Barrett nearly started another brawl the very next day! Definitely had some anger issues.
Ahhh, everybody calm down! We're all from Chicago, solidarity, friends!
High fences make good neighbors and such.
It has now become a real Chicago Showdown.
AJ Pierzynski was born looking 45 years old.
2006: this was a clean hit. Barrett's just a little baby, and even Cub fans were happy when he got the boot from the team.
On this day, though, Cub fans wanted to build a shrine to him. Presumably with a little statue of him punching A.J. in the face.
Ah naw ... we loved MB!
It wasn’t just in response to the hit at the plate. It was the plate slap and then turned to bump Barrett as he went by. He was essentially showing him up and Barrett didn’t like it. Cubs fans loved him btw so don’t know what you’re talking about. He fell off as a player so the boot was inevitable.
Ladies and Gentlemen, this is when "Punch AJ" was born, leading AJ Pierzinski to be fan-voted right into the All-Star game this very year.
I love how Podsednik just jumped in and starting beating the shit out Barrett too. Barrett was such a punk for doing that. Pierzynski had the right of way as the runner.
Barrett was definitely a loose cannon. If memory serves, he almost started another fight the next day.
i ment perzinsky
I'm a Cub fan, but I definitely believe Barrett was out of control at times. A few years later MLB made rule changes trying to avoid collisions at the plate.
Pierzynski: Bautista as Barrett: Odor I passed the SAT analogies section
I'm pretty sure Odor's punch actually registered as something above a mosquito bite, unlike Barrett's.
yea except AJ literally laughed afterwards
Definite similarities, however: 1) Pierzynski just played hard and wanted to score, while Bautista was angry at the HBP that got him on base and was trying to take Odor out; 2) Odor's hit was the cleanest and straightest I'm aware of in MLB history.
I'm not a fan of either team, but the play itself was clean. But AJP had no business shoving himself into Barrett as he did afterwards. Barrett had every right to punch him.
But AJ didn't shove himself in Barret's face. Barret grabbed him and punched him.
Please show me where AJ shoved Barnett... I'll wait. Oh wait, you're probably a bitter Cubs fan... enjoy being the worst franchise in sports. Not saying I don't like to party up in the Wrigley area, but if you want to watch real baseball then go to the south side.
lb55blitz oh yeah real baseball that's why the park is empty every day right?
lb55blitz also right before Barnett grabbed aj you can see a shove though im not sure which one of them started the shove
jokerhalo1 LOL just like a cub fan proud they fill that toilet of a stadium day in and day out. I will take an empty stadium knowing the team I'm a life long fan of has won the WS in my life time. Even the Marlins as crappy as miami fans are do better than the cubs. So go ahead tell me that was so long ago and I got to stop bringing it up but ya know what. It happened and you can't change that. You know if the cubs won you be bringing that up all the dam time with the filling the seats crap. You know what you earn filling those seats? Jake shit. World Series Champs trumps all.
I remember this game and watched it live.
+Renee N. so what?
BillyBob So...sew a button?
Not only did AJ slap his hand on home plate but he was trying to show Barrett up. That's how AJ always was. He deserved that punch.
Battle of Chicago!
Dang I was so young when this came out
I'm a Cubs fan but you gotta show respect for AJ
There’s someone who understands
it's a
CHICAGO WORLD
So which team made the touchdown?
The one that scored the 3 pointer
+jose bolaños Yup. His toes were behind the 3 point line!
Did they both get ejected for high sticking?
+DeAnn Young nah they got ejected for "hooking"
HAHA! You see! :|
Don't forget that awesome Birdie he scored too! (Golf stuff)
I remember seeing the highlights of this on SportsCenter the night it happened. So funny. Good times 😆
I was at this game. It was so surreal to see that situation unfold right in front of you.
Good times...I miss AJ a lot. White Sox fan for life!
Scotty sticking up for his friend Aj!
This will forever be my 1 of my favorite games south side Sox v Cubs good ol fashion brawl
This was my first MLB game. I was about 6 years old and my dad took me. Been a Cubs fan since I can remember. The Sox fans booed the rest of the game. The atmosphere was crazy
Go sox
Sox will forever be a better organization
lmfao Hilarious!
whitemexi99 no they won’t there god awful
This is all on Barrett. He's such a bad sport. Pierzynski wasn't taunting. He was just excited about his play. And he was just trying to get his helmet when he bumped into Barrett. Seriously Barrett. Grow up...
lol right? I love how cubs fans just post the picture of that cheap ass punch. Why don't you show when a.j. hit the hit stick?
Damn, this was 10 years ago?
Pierzynski is now with the Atlanta Braves
He just hurt Wilmer Flores simply by standing his ground. I guess Wilmer hadn't seen this video. The guy can take a hit.
*16
@@runreilly - A 39-year old Pierzynski in his final season as a player. The pitcher who threw the pitch, Rich Hill, is still in the majors as a player.
I like how he stopped him, said something, then fuckin popped him while his statement was being processed. hahaha
AJ took that punch like an absolute champ (pun VERY MUCH intended)
smacking the plate? you ran full speed into a guy standing still while watching the ball what do you have to be cocky about?
Scoring
The dude blocked the plate
The goddamn World of Warplanes ad is giving my laptop a stroke.
AJ thought he was getting a congratulatory hug from Barrett, then BOOM!
Don't forget Zambrano, Cubs Ace at the time, almost a year later to the day, kicked Barret's ass in the dugout. His own teammates didn't even like him. Lol
Often overlooked at the time, was Barrett had been involved in a dustup with Brad Ausmus only a week or two earlier. Barrett was just a hotheaded thug.
I'm a huge Cubs fan but Barrett was at fault.
It’s been 15 years now, wow
Most underrated fight in mlb history
100% clean. catcher was completely at fault and then reacts like a child
I am a White Sox fan and even I wasn't mad at Barrett. AJ was/is an asshole. He's a catcher himself and he was intentionally egging him on. But he's a winner.
+Vincent Cuttolo Barrett deserved it. He punched AJ in the face after a tackle. That is not right.
I will never get tired of watching this video.
Fs1 just brought me here
I remember watching this the day it happened
me too
The only reason Aj Pierzynski didnt Hit him back is because he has that Big Ass Ring on his finger!
+Bobby Miller oh what guy tackles a catcher? A shitty white sox player that's who. Sox suck, when was the last time they were in the playoffs?
+chrisw443 Sox have the Best pitching in baseball
Who had a no hitter this week? Oh yeah, DA CUBBIES
+chrisw443 wow sox have never had one of those before. When was the last time Cubs won a world series
+chrisw443 youve never seen one
happy 15th anniversary! lol saw this live as an 11 year old and I freaking loved every moment
That was the best MLB punch I ever saw.
I'm not a Cubs or a Sox fan, but I am a Braves fan, so as someone who watches AJ on a nightly basis, I think he was in the right here. He plays with a lot of passion, and he was just happy he scored. Barrett had no excuse to haul off and hit him like that
But if you socked AJ you had to realize he'd sock you back
I will love you forever for that punch Barrett!
That was the only hit the cubs got that day
Crazy times. You don't see stuff like this in baseball anymore.
One had a storied mlb career winning a world series and is a baseball legend.
The other is Michael Barrett
The best direct punch I have ever seen!
@@stingbass7154 Let me clarify: the best direct punch I've ever seen in a baseball fight.
if we thought this was the point of the cubs white sox rivalry. we haven't seen anything yet. cause with the cub's world series win. i can tell this rivalry is going to be a sky high intense!
1990Thunderbolt no it won't, the white Sox suck.
true. the south can't make anything happen as of now.
1990Thunderbolt it's not a rivalry at all. it's just the Sox fans who're obsessed with the Cubs who think that this is a rivalry
savage xD
1990Thunderbolt lol truth hurts!
Just curious, was that the ball/bat boy high fiving and whacking Barrett on the back?
This is in my top 3 favorite sports moments of all time
Typical Chicago. Violence
+92draw Typical MLB violence over dumb plays
Awesome stuff! '06 was a great year! #goodtimes
196 years between titles between these two teams.
God i remember being 7 and wondering what happened from center field. Ahh good memories
he eventually sucked but this was why I loved scotty pods
We won 90 games that year and didn’t make the playoffs. I’m still in disbelief
Those where the good old days when the sox where a legit team. AJ is absolutely loved by sox fans he took the punch well pretty good chin
Dusty was probably like: “you’re not gonna eject pierzynski too? Gettin beat in a fight is still gettin in a fight 😂
I have no bias towards either team. Clean hit, great play. I'll even allow the slam on the plate... But the way he tries to walk through him again after they're both on their feet. Yeah you can't take that disrespect that deserves a punch.
I love this so much
When you're at the top, everyone wants a piece of you.
As someone who doesn't watch baseball often, shouldn't the runner have slid? Looks to me like he intentionally stayed standing and bulled into the catcher.
There was no rule against it in 2006, that rule of "no blocking" from the catcher and no collisions was enforced after multiple catcher injuries recently, like post 2010 recently. I don't know the exact date. It was legal at the time.
Luc Damiani blocking the plate
Luc Damiani No, the catcher didn't have the ball and was blocking the path to the plate. Catcher was wrong in both ways, blocking and punching.
thx luc damiani
Obsession its called the buster Posey rule
Sucks that MLB wants to eliminate collisions at home plate.
"good clean play" haha not anymore
Cubs must still be upset about the Sox winning the W.S the previous year 🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️
I'm a Cub fan, and that was disgraceful. Barrett was a wanna-be tough guy. I never liked him! Notice that the Cubs started winning in 2007 right after they traded him.
herschie91 "Cubs" and "winning" should never be used in the same sentence. The Chicago Cubs is a joke of a franchise.
The Cubs were 32-37 before trading Barrett. After the trade, they went 53-40 to win the 2007 NL Central. They even swept the White Sox two days after the trade. Barrett was the poison on the team.
moparsrock You don't actually pay much attention to baseball, do you?
