M's-Brewer brawl a doozy
SEATTLE -- It has become an expected part of every Milwaukee-Seattle series over the last two seasons. The two teams get together, play some baseball and fight. "We don't like them and they don't like us," second baseman Harold Reynolds said. "And tonight didn't change a thing." Saturday, eight innings into the seventh meeting of the season between the teams, a fight broke out that rivaled any ever seen in Seattle -- and that includes most fight cards. Eight players were ejected, four from each side, after Bob Sebra hit the Mariners Tracy Jones with a fastball. "I was yelling at him on my way to first base when (catcher B.J.) Surhoff said 'What if he did hit you on purpose?' That bleeped me off." So Surhoff and Jones started what became a 22-minute brawl that spilled from home plate to the pitching mound, toward first base and eventually into the right-field bullpen. "I tried to get Gene Harris out of there, down into the bullpen," said Jeffrey Leonard, "and when I turned around there were about 50 guys running after us. I said 'Damn, this trouble.'" It was. Down near the right-field corner, tempers flared again and Milwaukee manager Tom Trebelhorn, among others, came out with a torn uniform and sour disposition. "It's not over," he said, afterward. "Treb didn't go out there to talk," said Milwaukee coach Don Baylor. "He went out there to mix it up." Before it was over, most players on the field had mixed it up -- several times. Among the best matchups: pitchers Ron Robinson and Harris; Dave Parker vs. Pete O'Brien -- "I said, 'Oh, hell, how did I get matched up with you," O'Brien said later -- Randy Johnson and Jim Gantner; Jeff Schaefer and approximately five Brewers. "Big men with big egos love to hit the little guy," said Schaefer, who stands 5-foot-10 and hits back. M's Manager Jim Lefebvre came out of the dugout trying to regain some order on the field, but quickly got into the spirit. "If they want to fight, we'll fight," Lefebvre said. "I didn't appreciate their comments, neither did our players. I'd rather play baseball, but if it gets ugly, we'll hold our own." Brian Holman and Johnson, teammates since minor-league days, might have worked best together Saturday -- they stood back-to-back and took on all comers. "There were some blows being thrown," Johnson said. "You just didn't want to get blindsided."
This is a fight that has some backstory. Way back in a Spring Training game in 1989, Brewers shortstop Bill Spiers slid hard into home -- harder than was necessary for a Spring Training game, many felt -- landing Mariners catcher Dave Valle on the injured list and causing a very rare Spring Training benches-clearing brawl. Flash forward to a game at the Kingdome in 1990. The erstwhile Seattle Pilots were trailing 5-2 in the eights, and Brewers reliever had given up a homer and a double before catching Mariners left fielder Tracy Jones in the ribs. What stars with some light jawing quickly devolves into the benches clearing and punches being thrown. Interestingly, at one point in the video you can see Dave Valle, apparently having made a full recovery, holding back a Brewer. Probably the most famous participant in this fight wasn't a Brewer nor a Mariners, but 79-year-old Agatha Doman, a pastor's daughter who objected to a Brewers player pinning first baseman Alvin Davis to the wall beneath her seat and bopped the offending player over the head with her handbag.
