OK, first I'll set it up...

It's game two of the '65 World Series, Dodgers vs Tigers (LA took game one behind Koufax strong pitching and a 5-run 8th).

With Don Drysdale on the hill for LA, the Tigers score quickly on a two-run blast by Al Kaline in the first. Then, Bill Freehan leads off the second with a solo shot. A few batters later, Gates Brown hits a two-run bomb to put Detroit up 5-0. The next batter is Dick McAuliffe...

Play by play:
There are two down.
The 0-1 pitch...
It got a piece of him!
McAuliffe trots down to first.
Wow, now he goes after Drysdale...
here we go...
McAuliffe throws a punch at the pitcher...
both benches empty...
Whoa Nelly!
and they really get into each other...
a punch here, a shoving match there...
two minutes later...
the dust slowly begins to settle...
that's it...
and the ump doesn't hesitate...
he ejects both the batter and the pitcher...
Simply Amazing!

I typically play out just a handful of games per year, plus the World Series games. But even so, after 16 sim years, this was my first brawl. And in the World Series even! With Big D doing the plunking after giving up a few yaks! Nice... Just had to share.
