ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- The New York Yankees and Tampa Bay Rays brawled in the second inning of a spring training game Wednesday, an inning after Yankees pitcher Heath Phillips was ejected after hitting Rays prospect Evan Longoria with a pitch.

I was wondering what you guys think was the best ever baseball fight. I personally enjoyed the Nolan Ryan v. Robin Ventura fight best. Ryan looked like he knew how to kick some butt out there. It was fun to think of him as more than a pitcher, but also a hardcore fighter.

I know that it's not showing good sportsmanship and all, but I agree sanjay. They are alot of fun to watch. Some of the best highlights stem from these. It also proves just how much emotion goes into sports. People have no desire to lose and they are LITERALLY willing to fight for the victory.
