When I was a young kid, I used to love going to AHL hockey games for one reason: the fights. The ultimate goal for an AHL player is usually to play in the NHL, so they generally want it more than NHL players. No aspect of the game is better at highlighting that than the fights. Apparently the same is true for minor league baseball.
Deadspin called our attention to a great brawl that took place recently between the Class A affiliates of of the Rangers and Blue Jays. There are two special things about the fight: real punches are exchanged, and the war begins after a grounder to second base. Have a look at the Spokane Indians and Vancouver Canadians fight video:
If you need a point of comparison, just check out this recent fight video from the MLB. Told you the minor leaguers want it more.
