LIVELEAK - A brawl broke out behind home plate early in Friday night's game between the Greenville Drive, Boston's affiliate, and the Charleston River Dogs, New York's affiliate. Drive pitcher Miguel Celestino nailed Charleston's Slade Heathcott in the head with just his second pitch of the game. Heathcott immediately attacked catcher Christian Vazquez and both dugouts cleared. The fight went on for nearly more than a minute before the teams were separated. Heathcott and Vazquez were ejected and the River Dogs went on to win 6-2.
Big Leagues, Minor Leagues - doesn't matter. New York and Boston are like oil and water. The Hatfields vs. The McCoys. It's amazing how we ever cooperated against the Brits. Football, baseball, basketball and hockey have all had some pretty heated moments. I'm just happy the River Dogs beat those asshats and won the game.

Just a boss move by my early candidate for "Father Of The Year." Papa got mad skills y'all. I would be showin' my kids this clip every freakin' night at dinnertime for eternity, just to reinforce what a bad-ass the old man is. This puppy would be on a loop inside the front door of the house so that everyone from the pizza delivery clown to the most obnoxious relatives got a taste of what kinda stud they're dealin' with once they enter "La Casa de la Catch." This is some epic shit we're lookin' at here people. Protect the kid and flash the mitt at the same time? Gold Glove. Big time players make big time plays at big time moments. Sign him up!

The ORIGINAL flame-thrower was once clocked at over 98mph, although it's said he routinely reached 100mph (radar guns weren't around back in the day) He pitched in the big leagues at the age of 17, making his MLB debut (where he struck out 15) before his senior year in high school. Amazing. RIP.

Hey Carl, welcome to Boston! Remember this? Of course you do. Now run on down to the aptly named Dick's Sporting Goods nearest you and empty out the entire inventory of cups. Don't be a fuckin' bum - buy 'em all. You're welcome.
