Padres vs Braves Brawl (1984 style)

A retrospective on the 25th anniversary of a crazy brawl between the Padres and the Braves. I think the Padres won. :)

Thanks for sharing that. That was fabulous.

You know, it just sounds more like baseball, to me, when it’s Skip Caray and Pete Van Wieren.

I remember watching that game....

It was quite an entertaining Sunday afternoon, but I was so mad because I went to the game the day before and just missed this beauty by one day.

"It breaks your heart. It is designed to break your heart. The game begins in the spring, when everything else begins again, and it blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains come, it stops and leaves you to face the fall alone."

Thanks for that.
Man, “Boys will be boys” was quite an understatement eh?

I saved those before they get yanked from YT.
Hubby will appreciate seeing them later.

And yes, Skip and Pete – the good ole days for sure.

Observations

Funny to see Joe Torre as the manager.
Amusing to hear about a $50 fine for being warned.
HELL of a FUPA on the 1B umpire.
Cool to see the RAK shoulder patch. This was the year Ray Kroc (the guy who built the McDonald’s empire) died.
After the third pitcher gets thrown out, hasn’t your point been made?
God, why did people dress like that? Bright yellow pants? Seriously?

Remember, kids...don't ever let facts get in the way of your argument.
