And journeyman pitcher Marino Pieretti, who flunked this 1956 tryout with the Phillies.

And a legedary 1960 fight involving Jimmy Piersall. The first shows first baseman Luke Easter trying mightily to calm Piersall down in the third such flare-up since he was hit in the wrist by a Jim Bunning pitch. The initial brawl wound up with Piersall being pinned to the turf by manager Jimmie Dykes and teammate Vic Power (10).
