Suspensions handed down from the latest basebrawl. From ESPN.com:
QUOTE
Diamondbacks pitcher Miguel Batista has been suspended for 10 games and Cardinals first baseman Tino Martinez for four games for their roles in a fight that touched off a benches-clearing brawl Sunday, ESPN's Peter Gammons reports.
Cardinals reliever Jeff Fassero, who was ejected for hitting Arizona's Luis Gonzalez in the rib cage in the ninth inning, received a three-game suspension Friday, Gammons reports.
Martinez and Batista clashed in St. Louis, where Arizona closed out the three-game series with a 1-0 victory, one batter after Martinez was hit in the shoulder blade by a 1-0 pitch. As Martinez threw a punch, Batista threw a ball at Martinez player but missed. Both benches quickly cleared.
As for the list, I remember watching #3 (Orioles-Yankees) on TV when that fight happened. Strawberry getting clobbered and chickenshit Benitez running for the dugout faster than Rickey Henderson stealing second.
