Happy Knight/Davis Brawl Anniversary (6/22/86)

come out and get your whoopin, eric

happy anniversary (a few days late) to ray knight and eric davis... on 6/22/86 you two got into one of the more memorable brawls. davis did not particpate very long, as he was knocked out by a knight right hook 3 seconds into the fight.

only reason i am posting this is because i stumbled across this video of the kid playing the hell outta 3B after countless players were ejected (never bunt on mex)... its not the video of the fight...

how awesome is this?

... also in the game (but not the video) orosco and mcdowell alternating OF and RP duties in extra innings... (which apparently drove pete rose crazy, and he was arguing with the umps that this was against the rules.... i guess it was in the same chapter about betting on games, becuse he never found any rules against it....)

boy, that escalated quickly. nails, did you throw a trident?

mets won in 14 innings on a 3-run bomb by HoJo (who was playing SS)... one of the craziest games in a year full of crazy games... unfortunately i could not find footage of the fight. everytime something it written about it, you will always hear how ray knight ( former golden gloves boxer) just massacred eric davis (after davis slid hard into 3rd base).... the teamwork to make the dreamwork, indeed.
