Remembering a pair of famous Orioles brawls
Orioles third baseman Leo Gomez, center, is tackled as pitcher Rick Sutcliffe, behind him, comes to his aid, trying to keep him from a host of Seattle Mariners players charging the mound, which is covered with bodies during a brawl on June 6, 1993. The fight started when Orioles pitcher Mike Mussina hit Seattle batter Bill Haselman with a pitch, causing him to charge the mound. (Karl Merton Ferron / Baltimore Sun) Manny Machado's attack of Royals pitcher Yordano Ventura captured everyone's attention Tuesday as it became the biggest story in baseball on an otherwise quiet sports night.
It inspired thousands of tweets and memes, and also memories of O's brawls before.
