10 great basebrawls following a message pitch (non-MLB-style)

In honor of Richie Sexson going ape last week over a pitch that was clearly intended to send a message as it crossed over the plate almost armpit high, we are proud to present the 10 best basebrawls following a pitch that was a little too high and tight. And since MLB doesn't want anything even remotely considered to be free publicity by not letting any of their videos on YouTube and the like, we're going non-MLB for the picks! Screw Bud.

10. Malaspina vs TRU in Canada.


9. Greensboro Grasshoppers vs. Kannapolis Intimidators.


8. North Shore vs. Quebec in the Can-Am League.


7. University of Oklahoma vs. Oklahoma State University - 1989.


6. Run, Forrest, Run!


5. Edmonton Cracker Cats vs. Calgary Vipers, Northern League.


4. Chico Outlaws vs. Reno Silver Sox.


3. Jose Offerman.


2. Izzy Alcantara with the kick to the catcher. A classic move.


1. Words fail me, Jim Traber.



Honorable Mention: Tony Batista scaring the piss out of a Japanese pitcher.
