Big day in Braves history.
Thirty one years ago, the brawl to end all brawls went down on a Sunday afternoon in Fulco. It’s striking how many players from this game have passed away: Pascual, Alan Wiggins, Tony Gwynn, Donnie Moore, Rick Camp …The stars remain the fan in the yellow pants, shirtless Ed Whitson and Bob Horner’s cast.
Two years after the brawl, noted sourpuss Doyle Alexander was traded to the Tigers for a young pitcher who didn’t want to leave Detroit. You know the rest by now.
