Take notes, Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Conor McGregor, this is what a fight looks like.
In the bottom of the sixth inning between the New York Yankees and Detroit Tigers, Yankees catcher Austin Romine and Tigers star Miguel Cabrera were seen jawing at each other at home plate. Romine then took off his mask to really spit venom Cabrera’s way and then the two-time MVP showed he’s more than just a slugger with his bat, taking a couple swings at Romine causing the benches to clear and chaos to ensue.
Fists were seen flying everywhere, dudes were being tackled and there was even a little ground and pound tossed in for good measure.
We can only hope Mayweather and McGregor entertain us half as much as this incredible base-brawl did.
UPDATE: The fight in the sixth inning turned out to just be a spark for the Tigers and Yankees.
In the seventh inning, Yankees reliever Dellin Betances hit Tigers catcher James McCann in the head with a pitch, which emptied the benches again and Betances was ejected. Then in the top of the eighth, Tigers reliever Alex Wilson hit Yankees third baseman Todd Frazier, sending everyone out of the dugout one more time. Wilson and Tigers manager Brad Asumus were ejected.
