I’ve been to a lot of games, this was, by far, the most exciting! Especially after driving from Huntsville, AL and sitting through a very long rain delay before the game. Glad to see these clips on UA-cam.
You don't have a real baseball brawl until fans are taken away in Handcuffs...and BIG John McSherrry(R.I.P.) rolling around on the ground. SuperStation WTBS. BEST BASEBALL BRAWL IN HISTORY.
When I saw this video I said to myself ‘when’s the last time an umpire did anything to break up a brawl?’ Once the bullpens arrive they stand back and just take down numbers anymore
@@Boxscot49 sorry it took so long to get back with you, Scotty...I was eating dinner and having a sleepover at your mom's, She said that washing your mouth out with soap was a big part of your childhood.
Dick WIlliams was a great manager, but he was also an asshole, IMO he gets much of the blame for that mess, and deserved that 10-game suspension (I attended a Padres game at Jack Murphy Stadium the following week and he was still out on suspension (don't recall which coach mangaed in his absence)). The San Diego newspaper had a picture of him watching an earlier game from the press box.
@@transitfan954 most great coaches,managers r assholes( larussa,belicheck, Phil Jackson, etc,) maybe that's why the padres r so listless, their manager is too nice,
For the 1984 National League champions, you'd think their aim would be good enough to hit him the 1st time instead of on the 4th plate appearance after missing him in 3 ABs. Throwing at someone 4 times in a game is absurd.
I remember watching the game on TBS. Crazy game. No doubt the Perez pitch was intentional, but so were the attempts to hit him that followed. Great game to watch. It ranks up there with the Rick Camp home run game.
Even though Bruce Bochy would later manage the Giants to three World Series titles I’ll ALWAYS associate Bochy more with the Padres as I remember him playing and managing for the team.
I dont believe Pascual intentionally hit Wiggins to begin with. Regardless, it should have been over when the padres pitchers failed multiple times to hit Pascual. Showed their incompetence big time. And of course the Braves players will respond once their pitcher is hit. Lefferts said the padres finished it. Well "finishing it" took them multiple attempts. And no they didnt finish it. Donnie Moore (RIP) finished it. Meanwhile, Champ Summers is lucky Bob Horner didnt break Summers' neck.
@@stevelewis1982 Not to disagree with Perez being a nut but.....WHY - when you're in a pennant race (yes 10 1/2 out but in 2nd place, it's been done before)...WHY would you put one of the league's best base stealers on to start the game with the league's best batter coming up behind him? That's insane even for Pascual Perez.
You don't know shit about Champ Summers, do you? Dude was a Vietnam vet and Special Forces and has a Purple Heart from being blown up. In addition, Horner had a broken arm, so Summers would have ripped Horner's arm off and shoved it up his ass. THAT'S why he said "what am I going to do with him?" (About Perez).
Ultimately, this was the Umpire's fault. He should have tossed Perez, or at least WARNED him and Atlanta coach Joe Torre, right from the get go. But if he wasn't going to protect the SD players, then SD had to protect themselves. It's up to the umps to make sure that justice is done, and when they fail that, they cause things like this. The only time I ever came close to causing a fight in sports was when I got shoved down in a league soccer game, by they guy with the ball (I was defending) and the refs (who should have been looking RIGHT at us) didn't call it. I bounced up and kicked the ball OB, then screamed at the player for a while, nose to nose. If the damn ref had called the foul, I wouldn't have done a thing. I'll tell you one thing, no one threw at San Diego for the rest of the year, because they knew there would be retaliation.
Summers was a pinch hitter in every sense. Champ's dad was a boxer and he was the one ballplayer you actually had to watch out for in a brawl. Many great memories of him with the Tigers.
Padres and Braves are missing on a golden opportunity. They should commemorate this brawl like a Civil War re-enactment each year letting someone dress up like Joe Torre, Goose Gossage, Champ Summers, and all the others who got involved including the fans. Don't forget that guy who looked like Sean Astin who got lead off in cuffs after storming the field. Even Jomboy did a marvelous break down of this.
What separates this from other brawls was that the wives of the two managers nearly came to blows after the game. This was a classic "changing of the guard" moment in the division. The braves had been near the top for three years and the Padres were on the doorstep. These brawls ripped the door of the hinges. And mid August is a prime time for brawls like this to happen because teams are faced with the reality that their season has just ended. The Cubs and Mets got in a brawl that same week. For all time sports brawls I would put this one third. #2 is the Malice in the Palace and #1 all time in Minnesota vs Ohio State basketball in 1972
You must be on crack! No fan kicked his ass, he jumped on his back like a little bitch! That little 160 lb scrawny fuck wasn’t gonna do anything that could hurt Champ Summers! And Perez ran away to the safety of the clubhouse like the little skinny bitch he was too! Nothing but pussy, in the ATL anways!
I guess I have to copy and paste the same thing I did for another idiot who doesn't know who Champ Summers was... You don't know shit about Champ Summers, do you? Dude was a Vietnam vet and Special Forces and has a Purple Heart from being blown up. In addition, Horner had a broken arm, so Summers would have ripped Horner's arm off and shoved it up his ass.

BEST BASEBALL BRAWL IN HISTORY.
Basebrawl. 😊😊 (Ah, bring back the old school TBS!!)
Jerry Traveler: The Tigers/White Sox megabrawls that occurred on April 22nd, 2000 were easily as violent. Check it out.
When I saw this video I said to myself ‘when’s the last time an umpire did anything to break up a brawl?’ Once the bullpens arrive they stand back and just take down numbers anymore
"The sea was angry that day my friends, like an old man trying to send back soup in a deli."
"One of the ugliest sights baseball has ever seen" - and that was just the Padres' uniforms.
GoalieLife: lol......... funny stuff
GoalieLife 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Screw you GoalieLife. Those Padres uniforms were SWEET. Brown and Gold are the Padres, not the crap they wear today.
As a life long Padres fan all I can say is.........LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!
lol
Back when players played with passion and love of the game, fought like men....
What an idiotic statement. Which one of these "fights" was most manly to you?
@@michaelwainscott2633 your an idiot, and probably a millennial cupcake yourself.
@@chrismoyers4382 I'm probably older than you. Just calling out a dipshit statement.

Was Joe Torre born 45 years old?
Believe it or not, he got better looking as he aged. 1966 Joe Torre was the gold standard for ugly, along with Don Mossi.
No, he looks about 35 years old there.
This belongs in the Hall of Fame tbh.
Dick Williams is the man,,still the only padre manager to win a world series game,
And pull his penis out in public

The toupees on McKeon and Summers were majestic.
If to you "majestic' means didn't exist...you are right! Neither of the 2 had a toupee
champ summers is the real Magnum PI

that man loved to get people upset
Rest in Peace Alan Wiggins and Pascual Perez
Pascual Perez was a joke
Rumor has it Pascual threw at St Peter on the way through the gate!
@@glennrauch1499 Ah, he didn't go that way....:)
And Claudell Washington now, too. Plus Donnie Moore.
john mcsherry died trying to umpire game in cincinnati
That WUSS, Lieffert didn't do a Damn thing either except back up.
Same could be said for Donnie Moore ..
Dick Williams will meet em anywhere he wants
Even though Bruce Bochy would later manage the Giants to three World Series titles I’ll ALWAYS associate Bochy more with the Padres as I remember him playing and managing for the team.

I believe Pascual Perez did hit Wiggins intentionally. Was a braves fan for many years. Never understood why they fooled with that Perez nutcase.

Champ got a free shower
Champ showered with Perez after the game
Champ Summers 'pinch hitter' :) something you don't see in baseball anymore
Summers was a pinch hitter in every sense. Champ's dad was a boxer and he was the one ballplayer you actually had to watch out for in a brawl. Many great memories of him with the Tigers.
@@daveconleyportfolio5192 looked to me like his son was a different story. Ran into a wall with the name of Bob Horner.
I watched another video and they said it was "Switch Hitter". That is why Perez was hitting batters....Champ Summer Effed him, never called him back.
This tone of this 'news,' story is weird.
Padres and Braves are missing on a golden opportunity. They should commemorate this brawl like a Civil War re-enactment each year letting someone dress up like Joe Torre, Goose Gossage, Champ Summers, and all the others who got involved including the fans. Don't forget that guy who looked like Sean Astin who got lead off in cuffs after storming the field. Even Jomboy did a marvelous break down of this.
With all the success Joe Torre had years later with the Yankres, I totally forgot he once managed the Atlanta Braves...
This should be titled "Champ Summers Got his Hair Messed Up"
Len Berman
I remember Champ playing for the Tigers. Late 70s early 80s obviously before 84. The Tigers beat the Padres in 84 to win it all.
Played for the Cubs early in his career
The reporter kinda looks like Gene Wilder lol.
It is Gene's twin brother Robbie. Look it up
craig did nothing but go in the dugout, lil girl
Would never fight someone named Champ!

Champ Summers, Vietnam Veteran
Beer Stein Night!
Both teams were garbage. They might as well of fought. They were better at fighting than baseball.
Ignoramus, the Padres were in the World Series that year!
Not sure I agree with your baseball knowledge about the Padres in 84
Great brawl, perez deserved to get hit!
Pretty shitty Padres pitching staff that took that many tries to hit the guy.
Take it easy Champ...maybe you should stop talking for a while.
Everybody in the stadium beat champ summers butt that day
When they cut to the commercial. That woman that tackled him....penetrated Champ with a bat. It got ugly
Chump Summers got stopped in his tracks by an injured Bob Horner and then got his ass kicked by a fan AHAHAHAHA
You must be on crack! No fan kicked his ass, he jumped on his back like a little bitch! That little 160 lb scrawny fuck wasn’t gonna do anything that could hurt Champ Summers! And Perez ran away to the safety of the clubhouse like the little skinny bitch he was too! Nothing but pussy, in the ATL anways!
Bob Horner isn't someone you wanted to piss off...if baseball had "goons" like hockey did, he would have been 1 of them!!
Citizen X But in typical Horner fashion, he was injured. And probably got injured again after this.
@@erinmsomers met Horner at an autograph signing in South Carolina about 5 years ago. Nice guy.
I guess I have to copy and paste the same thing I did for another idiot who doesn't know who Champ Summers was...

Had Perez took his lick like a man on the first or second pitch It'd been over and done with, lol.
Go Braves , Padres Suck except for Tony Gwynn , what shame he didnt play on contender team for more of his career
Played on two world series teams,r u dumb,
PEREZ KICKED THAT ASS ! AWESOME! DON'T MESS WITH THE BRAVES!
It should be noted the Padres won the National League pennent in 84. GO PADS
