Stadiums were so shitty compared to today... but in a charming way.

Braves called themselves "America's Team" because they were owned by Ted Turner and all the games were broadcast nationally on TBS. So lots of old familiar names. Bob Watson (died last year) was in his last year of playing before going on to rebuild the great Yankees teams of the 90s. Bob Horner (of course he was on the DL), Rick Camp, Gene Garber, Glenn Hubbard, Biff Pocoroba. Donnie Moore was the guy who hit Nettles. He later played for the Angels and gave up that HR to Dave Henderson in the '86 playoffs. A couple of years later, he committed suicide. The player with his shirt off, Ed Whitson played for the Yankees the following year and got in a fight at a bar with Billy Martin, his manager.

There's a legendary story about "Perimeter Pascual" Perez from the 1982 season that most Braves fans have heard but some of the younger fans or fans of other teams may have not. I-285 is the 64 mile loop around the city that we call The Perimeter. Perez was traded to the Braves in July of 82. The next month he was scheduled for a start, was headed down I-85 and accidentally took the exit to get on 285. He then proceeds to drive 150 miles, circling around Atlanta two and a half times and didn't stop until he finally started running out of gas. He pulls into a gas station, walks in, one of the workers happened to be listening to the pregame broadcast and says, "hey aren't you Pascual Perez? They're looking for you at the stadium." So the worker drives him to old Atlanta Fulton County Stadium, he gets there right before the game starts, Phil Neikro has gotten loose at this point, he gets the start, Braves win. Pascual makes it to the ballpark on time the next night, he gets the start this time, pitches 9 and two thirds, doesn't give up a run until the 10th inning. Braves score two in the tenth to win 2-1 and the legend of Perimeter Pascual was born. Or 285 Pascual or simply I-285, whatever you wanted to call him. Braves teammates hung maps of the city in Pascual's locker and Bob Watson said "sometimes it takes getting lost to find yourself." RIP Pascual

Summers suffered a concussion and a broken nose, but remarkably escaped a far more dire fate. After his tour of duty ended, he attended Southern Illinois University and actually turned to softball.

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again. My favorite guy in these brawls is ALWAYS the guy who comes running in full steam then proceeds to leap directly over the pile
@Vincent Cuttolo Ron Leflore now there's a name I haven't heard in a while. Didn't they make some sort of made-for-TV movie about his life? I think I'll ask google. Why, yes. Yes they did make a made-for-TV movie about Ron LeFlore. "One in a million: The Ron LeFlore Story". Remember watching it as a kid. Don't really remember too much about it, though, except this one scene where another prisoner makes a pass at him and he beats the crap out of him, screaming, "I'm a man! A man!" Ahh, the 70s.
I was at this game. Back then going to a Braves game was a crap shoot. Chief Nock-a-homa was always drunk. The score was more like a football game. More fights than a hockey game. You could get a $2 bleacher ticket and go by Green's Package and get a couple of plastic gallon jugs of beer and bring in your own cooler. Those were the days.
Fulton County Stadium often seemed like it had 12 people in the stands but a million-plus watching on TBS ha. My grandmother was a HUGE Braves fan and she lived her entire life in Texas.
They had three coaches left after the big scrum in the 8th. Pitching coach Norm Sherry, bench/hitting coach Deacon Jones, and bullpen coach Harry Dunlop. The others had been ejected (manager Dick Williams, 3rd base coach Ozzie Virgil, and 1st base coach Jack Krol).
@@sportsjefe yeah I was never a pitcher. I was always right field cus my fielding was so bad lol but I was always a starter because I was possibly one of the only ones on the team that could hit really good. That being said I had this thing I loved to do to waste time. When my friend was done with his Arizona can I'd place it flat against the wall and just throw as hard as I could trying to hit it. My friends would sit and chit chat while watching to pass the time. I'd crush it almost every 12th throw. It's not very easy to always hit the exact mark. But it was fun. The ball would be wrapped by an aluminum Arizona can. I'd throw 68-72 max (not anymore tho).
I'm trying to think of something that would have made it even more entertaining. Maybe if they issued low-velocity BB guns (and safety glasses) to all the players.
As a 67 yr old lifetime Padre fan this was the best fight in the history of MLB! Padres won the NL Pennant but lost to the Tigers who won it all. What a great game and year!! Go Padres!!

If you had an uncle and were growing up in the 90s, he 100% looked like Champ Summers in the yellow shirt. You just did. It was like some weird cosmic requirement, no way around it. That was life.
Ironically, the two players facing off against each other at the beginning of the game who started off the whole fracas - Alan Wiggins & Pascual Perez - both led very troubled lives and died tragic deaths at early ages.
@ CybeRD3MoN Men, are no longer men, in this day and age. Now, the vast majority, are a bunch of whiny, diva-ass, grandstanding metrosexuals. Damn shame!
IIRC it was at Riverfront Stadium in Cincinnati. Very tough to watch. He knew he was having trouble & tried to go to the ump's locker room, unfortunately he collapsed before he could get to the door behind home plate. Med staff performed CPR but it was unsuccessful.
I’m a braves fan and I saw this live, there is nothing wrong with bunting for base hits even if your breaking up a no hitter. Maybe play a little defense.
I did watch it live on TBS, back in the 80s... Skip Carey, who was Harry Carey's son, did the Braves play by play, (his grandson does it today). The fights never ended that day... it was truly a wild, wild game. Sidenote: That was Donnie Moore who plunked Greg Nettles. He ultimately shot his wife 3 times, after giving up a HR, to blow the game, to Dave Henderson in the '86 ALCS. Their oldest daughter drove her to the hospital, where she survived. Moore turned the gun on himself, in front of their other kids to end his own life. ESPN did an hour long documentary type thing on this, a few years back.
I went to a AA game in Birmingham several years back when 3 bench clearing brawls broke out. The Barons were playing the Jacksonville Suns. Can't remember how it started but I know Matt Kemp started the 2nd and 3rd brawl. I was second row behind home plate and a little drunk. Another guy and myself were heckling Kemp after the last brawl and he looks at us on his way to the dugout after being ejected and yelled, "What're you gonna do about it, bitch!?" To which I responded, "Stand here and talk shit while you grab some bench!" Clearly I realized I was safe behind the netting and several security guards. lol The game was called in the top of the 8th because the umpires never had control. This was during an umpire strike so a lot of those guys were local high school and college umpires. That entire night was a ton of fun!
@@JSchaffer214 I miss those dollar beer nights at the Suns' home field, which was really nice. I haven't been since 2005, and I never made it to Birmingham to see the Barons.
I remember watching this game when I was 10 years old and playing Little League at the time. My dad was adamant about telling me that’s not how you’re supposed to act playing baseball.
Remember Atlanta was in the NL West, same division as the Padres back in the day. So they were rivals, for people that forget they were in the same division.
Not only the best MLB Brawl of all time but the best narration. Kudos Jomboy Media. The reference to the fan looking like Rudy made me spit my VT all over myself. Well done 'Bro.
the way George Brett comes out of that dugout. He was a house aflame. Good buddy of mine is a Royals fan and we still laugh about this. Brett was rage incarnate.
The names in that brawl... 70s Yankees Nettles, Gossage, Chambliss... Joe Pignatano, bullpen coach of the Miracle Mets, Bob Gibson, who threw his share of knockdown pitches in a HOF career, and 67 year old Johnny Sain who won a pennant with the Boston Braves in '48.

He pulls into a gas station, walks in, one of the workers happened to be listening to the pregame broadcast and says, "hey aren't you Pascual Perez? They're looking for you at the stadium." So the worker drives him to old Atlanta Fulton County Stadium, he gets there right before the game starts, Phil Neikro has gotten loose at this point, he gets the start, Braves win.
Pascual makes it to the ballpark on time the next night, he gets the start this time, pitches 9 and two thirds, doesn't give up a run until the 10th inning. Braves score two in the tenth to win 2-1 and the legend of Perimeter Pascual was born. Or 285 Pascual or simply I-285, whatever you wanted to call him. Braves teammates hung maps of the city in Pascual's locker and Bob Watson said "sometimes it takes getting lost to find yourself." RIP Pascual

*Some info about Champ Summers (Vietnam)*
“He survived a tour of duty in Vietnam, where he served as a paratrooper. One day while driving an Army truck, he drove over a landmine, which exploded. Summers suffered a concussion and a broken nose, but remarkably escaped a far more dire fate. After his tour of duty ended, he attended Southern Illinois University and actually turned to softball.
WAAAAT?!? Not only did he play for the Cubs, he is a fellow Saluki as well! Hooooly shit, this video keeps getting better and better!

I was at this game. Back then going to a Braves game was a crap shoot. Chief Nock-a-homa was always drunk. The score was more like a football game. More fights than a hockey game.

Did the Padres even have any managers left? Like who was managing the team? The head trainer?
They had three coaches left after the big scrum in the 8th. Pitching coach Norm Sherry, bench/hitting coach Deacon Jones, and bullpen coach Harry Dunlop. The others had been ejected (manager Dick Williams, 3rd base coach Ozzie Virgil, and 1st base coach Jack Krol).
The club house manager.

@@sportsjefe yeah I was never a pitcher. I was always right field cus my fielding was so bad lol but I was always a starter because I was possibly one of the only ones on the team that could hit really good. That being said I had this thing I loved to do to waste time. When my friend was done with his Arizona can I'd place it flat against the wall and just throw as hard as I could trying to hit it. My friends would sit and chit chat while watching to pass the time. I'd crush it almost every 12th throw. It's not very easy to always hit the exact mark. But it was fun. The ball would be wrapped by an aluminum Arizona can. I'd throw 68-72 max (not anymore tho).

@@Dyingforlife Funny too considering he worked for one of the most demanding owners in baseball ever when in New York in Steinbrenner, not to mention having to deal with the New York press and fanbase.....and the Yankees had stunk since 1981 when he came in as well, so he had to rebuild them also.

Jeff Allen correct. He was well respected and was a tough thing to watch in ‘96.
IIRC it was at Riverfront Stadium in Cincinnati. Very tough to watch. He knew he was having trouble & tried to go to the ump's locker room, unfortunately he collapsed before he could get to the door behind home plate. Med staff performed CPR but it was unsuccessful.

I’m a braves fan and I saw this live, there is nothing wrong with bunting for base hits even if your breaking up a no hitter. Maybe play a little defense.
Imagine watching all this live, man what an experience that would have been.
I did watch it live on TBS, back in the 80s... Skip Carey, who was Harry Carey's son, did the Braves play by play, (his grandson does it today). The fights never ended that day... it was truly a wild, wild game.
Sidenote: That was Donnie Moore who plunked Greg Nettles. He ultimately shot his wife 3 times, after giving up a HR, to blow the game, to Dave Henderson in the '86 ALCS. Their oldest daughter drove her to the hospital, where she survived. Moore turned the gun on himself, in front of their other kids to end his own life.
ESPN did an hour long documentary type thing on this, a few years back.
I went to a AA game in Birmingham several years back when 3 bench clearing brawls broke out. The Barons were playing the Jacksonville Suns. Can't remember how it started but I know Matt Kemp started the 2nd and 3rd brawl. I was second row behind home plate and a little drunk. Another guy and myself were heckling Kemp after the last brawl and he looks at us on his way to the dugout after being ejected and yelled, "What're you gonna do about it, bitch!?" To which I responded, "Stand here and talk shit while you grab some bench!" Clearly I realized I was safe behind the netting and several security guards. lol
The game was called in the top of the 8th because the umpires never had control. This was during an umpire strike so a lot of those guys were local high school and college umpires. That entire night was a ton of fun!
@@JSchaffer214 I miss those dollar beer nights at the Suns' home field, which was really nice. I haven't been since 2005, and I never made it to Birmingham to see the Barons.
