Chicago Cubs: Anthony Rizzo and the Reds have history

In this MLB Brawl, I revisit the classic fight between Anthony Rizzo and the Cincinnati Reds. If you want to know why I’m writing about the fights in baseball, take a look at the first Brawl, What if Kris Bryant and Yadier Molina got in a brawl, to set the stage.

Chicago Cubs fans may have a hard time remembering back to 2014, primarily because two years later, we won a World Series title. So let me set the stage for you “Brawl” fans. In 2014, Theo Epstein and the Cubs were rebuilding. They told fans ahead of time; they were going to lose and lose a lot as they began to fit the pieces together that later became a championship team.
