Yankees, Phillies minor leaguers in bench-clearing brawl (Video)

Saturday night’s alright for fighting and, apparently, so is Sunday afternoon if you’re in Triple-A.

McDowell, a 27-year-old catcher batting .193 coming into Sunday’s game, understandably didn’t like the fastball that hit him in the head. So turn on the dance music!

Shoutout to IronPigs catcher Tyler Heineman for the nice form tackle of McDowell has he charged the mound.
