The Scum Bunch
The 1986 World Series winning Mets team was infamous amongst the baseball community. They were a group of hard partying, drug addict, drunkards who were loud, obnoxious, and unashamed. They celebrated at every opportunity, and without holding back. They once partied so hard that they caused $7,500 dollars worth of damage in one go. They were hated by anyone who wasn't a Mets fan. They showed their emotions on and off the field, and yet they were beloved by the city of New York. -
The "Rose Incident"
Pete Rose, the Cincinnati Reds manager, is suspended for 30 days, and is fined $10,000 for a fight with an umpire. This is one of the early major displays of emotion in baseball. It is not only controversial, but also very costly to the Reds. -
Red Sox-Rays incident
During a regular season game, a Rays pitcher threw a pitch at Red Sox player, Coco Crisp. Crisp then took a step towards first base, and charged the mound. Punches were thrown, and a major fight ensued. Several players were ejected from the game, including Crisp. This fight was the result of a longstanding rivalry between the two teams. Crisp was only suspended for 7 games, what is now considered to be a very short suspension. -
Corey Seager shows emotion in World Series comeback
Corey Seager yells with all his might in celebration of a game tying home run in the 9th inning of Game 1 of the 2023 World Series.
