July 16, 201312 yr I apologize if this has been posted in the last month. But since this video is just a month old I figured maybe some of you haven't seen it yet. For me, I've spent years trying to find this video and now here it is! It starts with a Royals/Indians brawl though. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yB4FsQAcPAc
July 16, 201312 yr Was at SIU when this happened and never got to see the full incidents. Just the quick highlights on SportsCenter.
July 16, 201312 yr I'll never forget that game. Question though, wasn't there a sox pitcher who was never the same after that brawl?

Although I would've been in 8th grade at the time, haha. It'd be nice to find some clips to see how Hawk reacted.
July 16, 201312 yr Is the part where fans are throwing stuff on Weaver or Fick in this video? I may have missed it
July 16, 201312 yr Thanks for sharing -- I've been searching for video of that brawl for a long time. That really propelled the Sox, if you remember. They came together and won the division after that. Forgot how much I hated Higginson...
July 16, 201312 yr Bobby Howry inexplicably hitting the Tigers batter up ten runs and one strike to go in the game is the best thing ever.

And then wanting to rumble. That was no accident. I'd like to see this stuff happen again, just because I'm bored
July 16, 201312 yr I can't believe MLB has burried the video for this. So good. I was going nuts watching this.

He was a badass. I remember once when he hit Tori Hunter and Hunter glared at him on the way to 1st and Farmio said something like "Yeah Tori, just flap your mouth cuz you don't want none of that."
July 16, 201312 yr Thanks for posting this video. I was in Carbondale when this happened too. Drive By Truckers played at Boo Jrs. that night.
July 16, 201312 yr I originally watched the game with a good friend who's a Tigers fan. I was so fired up, I made him leave. I used to take sports way too seriously.
July 16, 201312 yr LMAO at Brocail....Charged that mound at the end like a clown hahahaha & Todd Jones.....really?
July 16, 201312 yr Just for reference sake it was posted here on July 12th http://www.southsidesox.com/2013/7/12/4516...clear-ejections
July 16, 201312 yr QUOTE (bbilek1 @ Jul 16, 2013 -> 12:31 PM) I don't remember them throwing stuff at Weaver but when Fisk got escorted out through the RF bullpen he was pelted with beer and that is in the video. OP, thank you so much I have been looking for this video for a long time and I believed it was off the internet. 2000 was the year I fell in love with this team and I remember that brawl more than anything. I was only 6 years old but that was the year I started following the Sox religiously. Magglio and Keith Foulke were my favorite players and I remember being wildly upset watching the games when Magglio had his suspension. I hated the Tigers because my dad said they punched Foulke when he wasn't looking. That team was full of scumbags Jeff Weaver, Robert Fick, Matt Anderson (BUST), Higginson, etc. Fick?

I may have missed it I think I know what you're talking about, and I didn't see it in this clip either. I remember on SportsCenter they showed fans dumping water on a Tigers player in the bullpen area I thought. At the time I thought it was the coolest thing ever haha.

You guys must have skipped ahead, it was all in there. Start at about 6:15 and they show him walking, and he reaches the bullpen about 30 seconds later. Also, WilliamTell...I'm not sure it was "water"...

For some reason I thought fans were dumping buckets of water on the Tigers bullpen that day. Could be wrong though, it was a long time ago!

Could be wrong though, it was a long time ago! Hey Tigers players, I know it's hot out here and tempers are flaring, here's some water to help cool down! We also have popsicles if you want some.
July 17, 201312 yr I am at work so I can't watch the video, but there are 4 things that stand out in my mind from my memory of that fight: 1. We learned Magglio was a kicker. Strangely enough that's something that tells you a lot about a person. Especially considering this was before MMA became popular. 2. Foulke after that fight looking like he got stomped in the face. 3. Fick receiving the beer shower. If I remember correctly he was flipping the fans the bird as it was happening. 4. Frank Robinson using this fight to show that he was the new sheriff in town and handing out crazy suspensions.

I remember once when he hit Tori Hunter and Hunter glared at him on the way to 1st and Farmio said something like "Yeah Tori, just flap your mouth cuz you don't want none of that." I remember this exact moment. Farmio said something like "go on out there Torii, you'll have one less I in your name and in your head when Bob's done with you". Couldn't believe he said it.
July 18, 201312 yr Thanks for posting this, OP. What a great trip down memory lane. Can't believe that happened 13 years ago. That 2000 team was so much fun (until the playoffs).
