Benchclearing

baseball's greatest fights and riots

by

A grossly comprehensive and humorous guide to violence in Major League Baseball, dating back to Ty Cobb and running right up the sleeve of Gerald "Ice" Williams. Jaded and cynical take on the game that meshes with current greed-fest going on in the sport. Fantasy baseball and Jerry McGuire have ruined everything, and SABREmetric types remain humorless.
