In the lead-up to the Fall Classic, here's a classic class-A baseball brawl, going back a few years to 2007. It pits the Lansing Lugnuts against the West Michigan Whitecaps. In retaliation for one batter being beaned, pitcher Edward Rodriguez takes matters into his own hands, literally, and hits Louis Ott. In hindsight maybe
charging the mound wasn't Ott's brightest ideas, but I'm sure before the knockout blow landed it was one of those "what could go wrong" moments. So, what went wrong? It turns out between throwing his glove in and the bench brawl erupting Rodriguez visited the Wizard of Oz, got his courage, and learned to fight back.
