_dangdungding_ What if I told you that you could get hit by a pitch while stepping out of the box? What if I told you that $7 could get you a box seat and first chance to jump into a big league fight? What if I told you that Kurt Bevacqua wasn't having any of it?
I was at that game. It was a real hot, muggy day, and just walking into the stadium, you just had this sense that something unusual was going to happen. I've never seen anything like that.
"This one is very close to getting totally out of control." Yeah, I'd say "very close" is an understatement while you have fans entering the baseball diamond like it's the Royal Rumble.
It didn't seem possible to outdo the pure craziness of the Cubs/Reds "home run foul" game from back in May of that 1984 season, but the Braves/Padres Mega-Brawl Game somehow managed to do it. MLB in the eighties was wild and endlessly entertaining.
This is still the craziest, most legendary, mlb baseball fight/brawl of ALL TIME!! Players, umpires, fans & managers/coaches involved in multiple fights!! Only people that didn't get involved were the camera people & the announcers 😳😳😲😲👍👍👍!!
That was hilarious how Champ Summers is making a beeline for the Braves dugout. Bob Horner (one solid individual) steps up and all the sudden Champ is like "hey I got no problem with you". yeah, you are about to have one.
The brawl after this one, in the ninth inning, was even wilder. A couple of Braves tackled a fan who ran onto the field and grabbed a bat out of one of the dugouts, Kurt Bevacqua of the Padres got into some real fisticuffs with a couple of Braves fans atop the Padres' dugout roof. This was the most intense baseball brawl I have ever seen.
this vid is so damn nice.... funny hairs and funny staches, the uniforms, fat umpire rollin on the floor, the tackles, the 80's, the creepy dude with the takedown and then get trampled, the narration..
John McSherry died on Opening Day in Cincinnati. I was off from work. The angle that the Reds TV network had Big John walking to the center where the umps used to come out and I believe it was only two pitches into the season. Where the camera was behind that entrance caught him going down. I turned on the Reds Radio broadcast and Marty and Joe had the best angle on it because there was a doctor who came down from the stands and was working on his chest. Bad news all the way around.
@DW Palme I know, just like most trolls. But c'mon...he caused ALL THAT SMOKE, and just walked away like he had a 5 foot putt at his local golf course or something.
I am a Reds fan but I loved watching the Braves in the 80's on TBS and remember this game and all of these guys. The Padres threw at Perez every single time!
Steve N Coolest game for me would be a comeback walk off grand slam for my home team rather then watching a shit show of a fight. But I will admit, this would of been pretty damn good to see in person!
I think Mr Turners programing director got the Braves mixed up with Georgia Championship Wrestling that day. Rumor was that Ted wanted to put these 2 teams in a main event steel cage match ! 😄
This is only half of the story. Perez got thrown at TWICE before this one. And the benches emptied, Perez ran around with the bat in his hands trying to fend of Terry Kennedy, he got thrown at again and the pitcher was tossed, and then Lefferts came in and threw at him. Then Nettles got plunked in the 9th and it all started up again.
+GBev2K16 Perez was a POS & a hot dog, EVERYBODY hated him, BUT...being thrown at 4 times in 1 game, enough Padres, jeez. Talk about overkill. And that meathead Champ Summers, what a douche, he probably outweighed Perez by 75 lbs, he got a beer right in the face. HAHA
Never see fans get involved in a fight again. Baseball don't have fights like this anymore. And even if they did, fans be too busy recording fight with their cell phones to get involved
I can't find a video of all of the fights from this game. There are at least two more. They thru at P. Perez all four times he came to bat. I'm all for retaliating, but that's crossing the line. Plus, the guy he hit in the first was hit in the ribs and stayed in the game.
Vincent Cuttolo the Braves reliever was Donnie Moore and he plunked Craig Nettles. Yeah they should have included that brawl too. It was just as crazy as this one. I saw this game on TV and it just seemed never ending non stop brawling... as a result of this game, the no beer sales after the 7th inning was instituted.
Bob Horner walking out of the dugout (after telling the National Audience he was headed there) is the most “pro wrestling thing” I have ever seen….in any sport.
Those fans should've gotten free tickets for the rest of the season. Standing up for your team baby!!!! One of the greatest games ever played. Take Me Out To The Brawl Game!
Watched this game with a buddy of mine from the beginning. Perez was a head hunter before this game ever started. Padres mgr. Dick Williams wasn't going to put up with anymore of Perez's antics. Lefferts probably wasn't into hitting Perez but Williams ordered it. Padres jelled after that game and went on to win the 1984 NL pennant
I remember that fight like it was YESTERDAY!!!! It makes me sad to know that both Rick Camp of the Braves and Alan Wiggins of the Padres have passed away. God rest their souls.
wow, a lot of old familiar names on the Braves from when I used to watch the Richmond Braves as a kid - Tony Brizzolara, Brad Komminsk, Gerald Perry, Rufino Linares
Terry Harper, Larry Whisenton, Brett Butler. Eddie Haas was the mgr and was promoted to Atlanta when they fired Torre. He turned into a huge bust and didn't last the season. During the strike of '81, WTBS aired Richmond Braves games to fill the time slots they originally had for Atlanta games.
Claudell Washington, Bob Gibson, Bob Horner, Dal Maxvell, Chris Chambliss, Ken Griffey Sr., Bruce Benedict, Gerald Perry, Brad Komminsk, Dale Murphy(though he’d never actually throw a punch), and Joe Torre? The Braves didn’t win a ton of games, but that was a bunch of big, strong fuckers that I wouldn’t mess with.
I grew up down Highway 15 from Jack Murphy Stadium back when this game happened. It was a great year for Padres' baseball, but this was the worst day of the season. Watched on TV, pure madness.😑😑😑
I watched this on TV back when the Braves games were on TBS. To this day, this is my favorite MLB brawl...not just this part, but the whole day. I've never seen another even come close. Yankees/Orioles was close, but this one wins for longevity throughout the game.
Pascal had a reputation. Pirates-Dodgers game in the early 80's, both teams ran off the field and disappeared from sight. Perez walking to the dugout after throwing inside all game, challenges injured Dodger Reggie Smith to meet him under the stands behind home plate. Both dugouts emptied, but not onto the field, instead into the tunnels of Three Rivers Stadium
If I remember correctly this was a Sunday Day Game and it started about 1pm and it did not end until almost 7 pm. The crazy thing was, it was a 9-inning game. I was at home watching this game with mom at the time it was on Channel 17 (Superstation, remember that?) Braves won that game and the announcers said at the end the game, "Now we can all go home!
Dammit...why did I have to be born in November of 1984?? This was probably the best basebrawl in MLB. And we've seen plenty. I wish I could have seen this live...sounds like this was televised on TBS or something.
It was televised live on TBS. Back then (I was 12 years old) Ted Turner owned The Braves..and would show almost every Braves game on TBS (this was way before ESPN, FoxSports are channels, The MLB Package, etc. started showing games). Turner used The Braves to fill out programming on TBS ("Sanford and Son" used to come on right before every Braves game during the week at 6pm central time....at The Braves would follow at 6:30pm central time). That year, The Braves started off promising, challenging The Padres early. However a plethora of injuries (slugging third baseman/clean-up hitter Bob Horner breaking his wrist on a pitch thrown inside earlier in the year) really killed our chances. By this game..we were well out of it. However we showed some FUCKING HEART that day by standing up to the BULLY Padres! Fuck wanna be tough guy/THUG Champ Summers! I wanted Bob Horner to BEAT HIS ASS (some fans jumped in and did it, lol). I was like BEAT HIS ASS! Fucking Padres were WHINY LITTLE BITCHES that day!
One of the greatest baseball games I have ever seen. I remember watching this as a teenager and screaming at the tv like it was a wrestling match lol......Awesome.
myself and my dad were huge Braves fans, and we watched games on TBS. We were watching the game in Lugoff, SC and after Perez hit Wiggins....we knew this was gonna be wild! Little did we know how true that was.
They need to make a "30 for 30" about this game.
absolutely for sure. great call
They also need to make one about the 1972 Ohio State-Minnesota basketball brawl.
@@3243_ Dave Winfield??
_dangdungding_
What if I told you that you could get hit by a pitch while stepping out of the box?
What if I told you that $7 could get you a box seat and first chance to jump into a big league fight?
What if I told you that Kurt Bevacqua wasn't having any of it?
Call it basebrawl
32 years later still the best baseball fight I've ever seen.
And some of us are still calling it 'Base-brawl' :)
This and the Pacers pistons brawl of 2004 are the best sport fights I've ever seen
Indeed
There won’t be another fight like this in baseball again. Different culture.
no
Love how both Lefferts and Perez both move out of the way and let all their teammates do the brawling for them.
The both of them were the most sane about the whole situation.
I was at that game. It was a real hot, muggy day, and just walking into the stadium, you just had this sense that something unusual was going to happen. I've never seen anything like that.
Gerry Thrash
My now wife was a kid back then...she went to the game with her family. . Missed the fights going to gift shops
Statically, warmer weather is positively correlated with higher crime rates.
I bet! A summer day in either Georgia or San Diego makes people sweat like crazy
I was there too! I was 10, that game still left an impression on me after these years lol.
I watched from San Diego, you could feel the tension on TV. It just was a grey dreary day. 😊
It's good to hear Pete and skips voices again... sure do miss those days
me too :-(
Same. 😔
Yes.
RIP Tony Gwynn.
Ahhhh, the Professor....sure miss him :(
"This one is very close to getting totally out of control." Yeah, I'd say "very close" is an understatement while you have fans entering the baseball diamond like it's the Royal Rumble.
The royal rumble 😂
Wow some of the names out there on that field: Gwynn, Dale Murphy, Joe Torre, Bob Gibson, Gossage, Garvey, Nettles, Chambliss...
I thought of this fight tonight after seeing the Reds and Pirates brawl. It was at this level.
crowtservo not quite but it was same level w/out fans
These pre-steroid fights had much more passion.
David Hilsenrath the cocaine made up for it.
@@jknight1984 Oh my...Aren't millionaire egotistical athletes and drugs a great combination. P. Laubhan, RN
Cocaine...and greenies!
Pre steroid but also pre chem trail spray making everyone female body part
these were cocaine induced
Bob Horner was such a bad ass. Walks out calmly with his hands down and Summers still tries to avoid him. That’s real respect.
With his arm cast
I love when Bob Horner just calmly walked out of the dugout to the charging Padre and said nope, not here
It didn't seem possible to outdo the pure craziness of the Cubs/Reds "home run foul" game from back in May of that 1984 season, but the Braves/Padres Mega-Brawl Game somehow managed to do it. MLB in the eighties was wild and endlessly entertaining.
Remember watching this game on TBS & it was crazy. Perez was thrown at every time he came to bat. The wildest fight filled game I’ve ever seen.
1984. The Padres were no joke that year. Too bad they ran into that buzzsaw known as the Detroit Tigers in the '84 World Series.
San Diego just have a heck of a team that year, they kick out the Cubs but The Detroit Tigers beat them.
Should have paid Winfield and not traded Ozzie.
very sad but true
Then they run into a juggernaut Yankee team in 1998. Talk about bad luck
I watched this live. It was the coolest baseball game ever.
So did most of America. It was on TBS during the superstation days.
want a copy of this game but can't fnd one
Amazing that despite being targeted and thrown at all four times he came up, Pascual Perez not only stayed in the game but threw 8 innings.
I thought he got pinch ran for?
that fan who through that BEER at 1:18 Priceless/LOL
This was the first year that we here in NJ got WTBS as part our basic cable package.
Rest in Peace Pascual Perez, Donnie Moore, Tony Gwinn and Alan Wiggins.
And umpire John McSherry
and Champ Summers himself
And Eric Show
and Bob Watson
And Wade Boggs
This is still the craziest, most legendary, mlb baseball fight/brawl of ALL TIME!! Players, umpires, fans & managers/coaches involved in multiple fights!! Only people that didn't get involved were the camera people & the announcers 😳😳😲😲👍👍👍!!
That was hilarious how Champ Summers is making a beeline for the Braves dugout. Bob Horner (one solid individual) steps up and all the sudden Champ is like "hey I got no problem with you". yeah, you are about to have one.
yea right...Summers was jacked and would have given Horner a good run...far from scared of the guy
Champ could have gotten around Horner
Champ was a Vietnam veteran...not too worried !
A fan tried to fight Champ! I was 12 at the time and I would have attacked him. He wouldn’t have beaten up a kid like me!
@@kch7051 yeah that’s why he ducked from Bob Horner
Because summers is so tough 😂😂
one of the best fights in MLB because fans got into it love it.

threeby8887 it will never be topped.
Nettles getting speared Bill Goldberg-style by his former Yankee teammate Chris Chambliss...
Dirty Kurt was swinging at everyone
CORRECTION: The aforementioned fan who got onto the field tried to steal a batting helmet, not a bat. My bad.
1:51 Even squeaky clean Dale Murphy in the middle of it...
They had another brawl in the next inning after Donnie Moore hit Graig Nettles. They should have included that with this clip.
dave09gla th-cam.com/video/vm0F1BD8Qug/w-d-xo.html - here’s more on what you said
this vid is so damn nice.... funny hairs and funny staches, the uniforms, fat umpire rollin on the floor, the tackles, the 80's, the creepy dude with the takedown and then get trampled, the narration..
I just realized that same fat umpire was the one who collapsed and died years later
wow... didn't know that..
Yep, John McSherry, collapsed & died on the field of a heart attack, opening day 1996.
John McSherry died on Opening Day in Cincinnati. I was off from work. The angle that the Reds TV network had Big John walking to the center where the umps used to come out and I believe it was only two pitches into the season. Where the camera was behind that entrance caught him going down. I turned on the Reds Radio broadcast and Marty and Joe had the best angle on it because there was a doctor who came down from the stands and was working on his chest. Bad news all the way around.
Yes, John McSherry was overweight, but was a class act and a very good umpire who was one of the best calling balls and strikes.
This fight is the mother of all baseball brawls, maybe all sports brawls
As Gordon Solie would say: "We've got a real Pier Sixer goin' on here!"
Those were great unis for the Padres
Lefferts should have his face used for the troll photo lol. Drills a guy, then casually walks away as the brawl goes down as a result. Freakin' gold.
Manu Ginobilis Bald Spot. He was doing that because he was ordered to step away.
Lefferts is a pussy. Braves should’ve whupped his ass
@DW Palme I know, just like most trolls. But c'mon...he caused ALL THAT SMOKE, and just walked away like he had a 5 foot putt at his local golf course or something.
Big ol' fight and Garvey still didn't get dirty
not a single hair out of place!!!!!
@@driverdad71 LOL
He was too aloof and too concerned with image.
His hot wife left him for Marvin Hamlisch
He was a real life Roger Dorn.
Love how Horner came out and summers just stops lol
Champ Summers was one of 8 MLB players who served in Vietnam.
+Flike I didn't know that. Was Gary Maddux one too?
+Steve N Yes, Garry Maddox was one.
Geez, I'd expect more from a Vietnam vet...he got nowhere there. He looked stupid...good for him though for serving in Vietnam however .
Where can I find this Game ??? I want to keep this video for ever...lol.. . This was awesome when I was 10
Oh yeah Maddox was something back in the day with the Giants and Phillies. Glad he finally got a ring later in his career.
I love how the guy in the yellow pants at 1:18 actually tries to be the difference maker. My oh My oh My....
Lololol
About 160 lbs of fury kicking and stomping
At least he didn't lose his cool way too thick glasses.
Oh that is priceless! I missed that!
You wouldn't think that Tony Gwynn would be into a fight like this, but he is and he even tackled someone. RIP Tony Gwynn
That pitcher got away from the mound in a hurry 😂
Seeing Dave Dravecky out there makes me so sad
it does
I am a Reds fan but I loved watching the Braves in the 80's on TBS and remember this game and all of these guys. The Padres threw at Perez every single time!
It was Atlanta who hit them first but they cut it off?? We finally hit them back and that's when the brawl broke out 😂
I can still remember going to grandma's house and thinking what am I going to do there today. Good thing she had WTBS. Best scrap ever!!!

Never see fans get involved in a fight again. Baseball don't have fights like this anymore. And even if they did, fans be too busy recording fight with their cell phones to get involved
The video is missing the last brawl which took place in the bottom half of the ninth.

Horner stepping in front of Summers and taking him down with a broken hand. Badass.
I was very proud of Horner that day. Broken hand? F-it, I'm going out there!
I remember when this brawl happened in '84. It was unreal, just kept going on and on.

I like that Torre sent Perez in there to hit in the bottom of the 8th after they had been trying to bean him all game.
It's been 40 years since this slobberknocker
I love how Goose just stood there like calm down, you ain't gonna do a damn thing!!!!

I remember this. This was maybe the longest brawl I've ever seen. So many different guys mixing it up.
That will be one of most wild bench clearing brawl in history of baseball.
McSherry was also in the middle of the brawl involving the Cardinals and Giants two years later. Umpiring can be a contact sport, I guess.

One of the greatest baseball games I have ever seen. I remember watching this as a teenager and screaming at the tv like it was a wrestling match lol......Awesome.
KING KRUSH Where is the rest of it?? Nettles got plunked in the ninth inning and the whole thing kicked off again!!
Considering the game was on WTBS, home of Georgia/World Championship Wrestling, not a surprise. Horner looked like a slimmed down Dusty Rhodes.
myself and my dad were huge Braves fans, and we watched games on TBS. We were watching the game in Lugoff, SC and after Perez hit Wiggins....we knew this was gonna be wild! Little did we know how true that was.
This is breathtaking
McSherry in the middle of the pile really ties the room together.
Pretty sad when the fans attack someone.
