You have to be honest with yourself here. You usually go to a minor league or semi-professional sporting event for a few reasons. The first being that you actually have some connection to the players (family, friend, spouse, etc.). The second is to see some kind of crazy antic by the coach, whether it be him throwing a base at the umpire or just a good old fashioned scrap at third base.
For some reason, two baseball coaches in the Alaska Baseball League got tired of seeing each other and started haymakers in the fourteenth inning of the game.
KTUU in Anchorage shared a video of Peninsula Oilers head coach Kevin Griffin and Anchorage Bucs head coach Mike Grahovac setting off a benches-clearing brawl at a game on Thursday evening. The game had just entered the fourteenth inning when Grahovac was ejected for arguing calls with the umpire.
The argument and brawl started when he was headed towards the team’s clubhouse.

First off, I didn’t even know that Alaska had its own baseball league, but I guess they need something since they are so isolated from the rest of the country.
I am a little disappointed that there was no sound on the video of what Jim Ross would call, the “slobberknocker.” That may be a good thing as someone could probably dub in his iconic voice over the Royal Rumble-esqe brawl.
