Well it wasn’t really a funny fight, but one of the most hilarious things I’ve ever seen as far as anger on a baseball field was when George Brett’s home run in a game against the New York Yankees because his pine tar was too far down the handle of the bat.

Brett had thought he had given his team the lead and was all smiles in the dugout until Billy Martin, the Yankees manager at the time appealed. When the umpires examined the bat they determined that indeed the pine tar was down too far and Brett went positively ballistic. It looked as though Brett was actually going to rip the umps heads off and eat them for dinner. It took quite a few of his teammates to hold him back and keep him from actually physically attacking someone. I couldn’t find the video, oddly enough but I did find a photo of Brett being restrained during the argument which went on for several minutes.

I'm not sure if the fight I saw was the funniest or just most surprising, but it happened back in the late 1970's, not sure of the exact date. I was attending a minor league game in Reading, Pennsylvania. It was a Reading Phillies game, double A affiliate of the Philadelphia Phillies. Catch Miguel Ibarra and the pitcher were disagreeing on signs so Ibarra called time to talk to the pitcher. After the very next pitch, on which it was obvious Ibarra was crossed up on the pitch, he takes off his mask and starts yelling at the pitcher. He goes to the mound screaming at him and shoves the picther which caused the Phillies bench to clear and come out to separate teammates. As things appeared to cool and Ibarra was heading back behind the plate, someone from the second or third row of the stands yelled an obscenity at Ibarra, which he heard, prompting him to charge towards the stands, starting to climb the fence to get after the instigator. He had to be restrained and the instigator was ushered by security out of the stadium.
