Don't like getting hit by baseballs? Don't play baseball. Pitchers hit batters on accident too. So I don't see the big deal about hitting batters. It's part of the game. Arguing that hitting a batter on purpose is bad, but on accident is just part of the game is silly
Trust me u hit a player on accident be prepared for either u or one your teammates get hit on purpose it know as getting drilled but these feuds last for years between either team or players
So basically, pitchers are so damn sensitive that they can't handle someone hitting a homerun off of them and having a good time doing it. Like if you hit a homerun you should gently put the bat down, tip your hat to the pitcher for a battle well fought, then solemnly take your lap without showing any emotion at all. Such a dang silly sport
I wonder if part of it is, like, if you're a narcissist who plays baseball, you're going to pick pitcher as your position.

Baseball is a zero sum game. Most success comes at the expense of other players, who then risk losing their jobs.

Izzy Alcantara was the batter who kicked the catcher. It happened in 2001, looks like they put it in black and white to make it seem older Alcántara is remembered for an incident while he was playing with the Pawtucket Red Sox, Boston's AAA affiliate of the International League. On July 3, 2001, after being brushed back a second time by Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Red Barons pitcher Blas Cedeño, Alcántara turned around, kicking catcher Jeremy Salazar, karate-style, in the mask before charging the mound, throwing an unsuccessful punch at Cedeño before turning around as other players joined the fight until he was tackled by Kevin Orie. The incident cost Alcántara a six-game suspension and his spot on the International League's All Star squad.[2][
I wonder, back when pitchers in the National had to bat, was there a difference in hit by pitch between the two leagues? I feel like pitchers probably are more comfortable beaning players when they know they don't have to ever be on the other hand
I’m as old school as the next guy, but mark my words, base ball will cease to be relevant or mainstream until it personifies and markets the HR celebration. 😊
The unwritten rule and the subsequent beaning is ridiculous. NBA players used to be afraid to dunk because they might get pushed the next time they go up for a dunk, which is super dangerous, albeit not as dangerous as those 4 dead minor league players who got hit in the face/head. Players who jump are defenseless, and players who bat are defenseless against 90+ MPH fastballs.
Who cares about pride when it's a free walk to 1st and a pitcher might get ejected? If it happened in public let em have it but it's dumb as hell and selfish to try and fight when it'll only hurt your career and guarantee you'll get hit by another pitch in the future. Just swallow your pride and embarass the other team by beating them after they dug themselves into a hole.
@@Bipolar.BaddiePeople have died getting hit in the head by an international bean ball. Careers have been ended. This is a practice that should not be in the sport, and charging the mound with your bat would be a way for players to police this
@@Christoph5782 You want to tell us how many players have died by getting hit in the head? How many careers have been ended? I went to Baseball Reference just to check, and from what it says, there have been 61,248 HBP in the history of the MLB. Exactly one person has died, and he wasn't wearing a helmet. 1/61,248 with the fastest pitchers in the world is pretty good, if you only include helmets (which I don't know if you watch the sport, but I'm guessing you don't since you have such a ridiculous statement in your comment, they all wear helmets now) there have been exactly 0 deaths from being hit in the head. Just an overall really bad take.
Honestly the more videos like this I watch, the more I'm starting to realize why Hockey allows unofficially allows the fighting. There's something sort of romantic and pragmatic about letting the players get it out of their system to release the tension, and keep it within certain bounds.
This was a FKn well done video. I love it was somewhat fast paced but still well articulated and put together. And the pace to go a full 18 minutes without a lull in the action was a masterclass of organization and editing. As an editor myself I applaud you.
Look at how much love Japan has for baseball. If we could celebrate and get crazy like they do in their games baseball viewership and fan attendance would increase by 10x easily. While still keeping its "family friendly" nature, and being an absolute blast. id actually argue its even more family friendly since it isnt an unbearable drag to watch like the MLB is😂🤣 . Those stadiums go absolutely BANANAS when a run is scored, especially the designated fan cheering sections. As a kid id rather go to the game that is absolutely jumping instead of the 9 inning game of catch with an occasional cheer and maybe a wave or 2
This is soooo dope!! I remember most of these. Pure and utterly, let's throw throw browsing play right after. Live this! Thank you for these RUclips Docs.
I'm from the UK, and I've never understood this no celebrating home runs, but pitchers can intentionally take revenge and try and hurt the batter. That's backwards. I think it hurts the brand over here
The guy who swings a bat will get charged with assault with a deadly weapon. He might not get convicted, but his career will likely be over. The guy who threw the ball will say, "I didn't mean to hit him. It's hard to control every pitch."
Labeling these fights and injuries as being "because of a celebration" (particularly the Michael Morse incident) undeservedly shifts the blame to the person getting hit by a pitch on purpose, doesn't it? Seems like the real problem is pitchers being unable to handle even the mildest amount of taunting or celebration at their expense, and then choosing to take it out on batters using violence.
The one i remember the most watching live that took someone out for awhile was Kendrys Morales hitting a walk off grand slam with the Angels, jumping on the plate surrounded by teammates and injuring himself on the landing
The batter who had the novel idea of karate kicking the catcher at 16:28 before charging the mound was Izzy Alcantara. Hadn’t seen that clip in years but when I did the name immediately came back to me. He must have had a crazed look in his eye because for awhile he couldn’t find anybody to fight with when he bolted for the mound. 😁
I was a catcher. Hit a shot out, act stupid, and we don't forget it. My pitchers always threw at the head tho. We figured it would knock the stupid out of you.
Part of me likes the tradition and professionalism that baseball brings to the table compared to other sports...but the other part of me says BASEBALL IS FUN! It seems like most older players have issues with having fun, but the newer ones bring so much energy and excitement to the game. Yeah, we could just play a regular game of baseball, but wouldn't it be fun to have Brett Phillips come out in pitch in the 9th inning of a blowout game that we're not gonna win anyway!?
Other end of the spectrum: Kirk Gibsom hitting a home run off of Dennis Eckersley in game one of the '88 World Series. A's were heavy favorites; Dodgers won the series.
My dad has a saying that I feel has become increasingly more apt in recent years: Pitchers are whiners and bitchers. Being allowed to hit someone for celebrating when they do well is genuinely fucked up and shouldn't be allowed under any circumstances
"Pitchers are dumb by breed."-Ted Williams. "Pitchers are liars and crybabies."-Yogi Berra. I'm old school. I wouldn't say I like pimping home runs or bat flips. But those are NOT reasons to throw at hitters. But I gotta say that today's hitters are lucky that Bob Gibson isn't active today.
I would love to see baseball let players fight it out like hockey.. almost all the fights are just 1 guy running up to the other then both just dance around like they're gonna fight but chicken out or the whole team comes out to "hold them back" its so dumb
What with these pitchers throwing a fast ball right at a person and then running the other way when they charge the mound...If pitchers get the ball the other guy should keep his bat and get one good swing on the other guys head
The rules need to change to -MASSIVELY- punish pitchers who intentionally hit a batter in response to a celebration or a previous altercation. I mean...25 game suspension, automatic awarding of 4 runs (or if the team they beaned is down more than 4, enough to put them up by 1, or if the game is already lopsided the other way, they start their NEXT game down 4 runs). Have it be such a draconian penalty to where players know they are free to celebrate, over the top, including taunts, without any consequences coming after the fact.
The guy who killed Ray Chapman (the only MLB player to die on field) said he had no remorse and it wasn't his fault. He doctored the ball with dirt / Tabaco
ironic that baseball fans all say "there's no crying in baseball" when they cry the most over unwritten rules or because the team got their feelings hurt some dude pimped his homerun lol
Yankees did the pies to celebrate walkoffs in 2009, had approximately 7000 of them that season and won the World Series. Clearly the Orioles wanted to make sure that didn't happen by putting a stop to their pies.
And yeah. Celebrating AT your opponents is poor sportsmanship in any sport. Celebrate yourself and your team and the achievements you’ve made. Taunting and directing your celebration at your opponent is weak and shows lack of control and respect. Come at me with the old head comments. I’m ready.
Clutch plays should be granted more clemency. Clutching bases loaded with a strike out... Robbing a homerun in a critical situation... Clutch double play... Clutch dive catch... Let the players get an enthusiastic LETS GOOO
Nolan Ryan didn't do anything wrong with Ventura to get ejected. Yup he hit him on purpose but no warnings were given prior to the pitch and it was Baby Batman who charged the mound. The joke is who got 6 hits from Nolan, that would be Robbie.

The guy who swings a bat will get charged with assault with a deadly weapon. He might not get convicted, but his career will likely be over. The guy who threw the ball will say, "I didn't mean to hit him. It's hard to control every pitch."
@@hazy- yeah but i bet the next pitcher will think twice about beaning. an accurately "accidentally" flung bat would also probably work.
Bert Campanaris has entered the chat.
0:15 "it ruined this player's career" the guy who got kicked in the face or the guy who did it?
Kendris Morales celebrating his walk off grand slam and then breaking his leg, was one of the most depressing moments in my baseball fandom.
It was great to see Kendrys Morales eventually come back and be a real contributor for a World Series championship team in KC.
Reggie Jackson: Best. Bat. Flipper. Ever.
It was so strong and pure.
The Dodgers running to and swimming in the Diamondbacks pool was funny and gangsta! 🤣🤣
I mean when the catcher got kicked I wouldn’t take that level of disrespect
Labeling these fights and injuries as being "because of a celebration" (particularly the Michael Morse incident) undeservedly shifts the blame to the person getting hit by a pitch on purpose, doesn't it? Seems like the real problem is pitchers being unable to handle even the mildest amount of taunting or celebration at their expense, and then choosing to take it out on batters using violence.
The one i remember the most watching live that took someone out for awhile was Kendrys Morales hitting a walk off grand slam with the Angels, jumping on the plate surrounded by teammates and injuring himself on the landing
“I don’t wanna bite somebody” **bites somebody**
Charging the mound after the base run is the most Alpha move ever loool.
King Back Ho looked like he got his foot back on the bag, dude was safe
Yeah, when he got touched, the dude's foot is on the bag..guy got robbed for a bad call!
That 1894 footage must have been a rare find 😂
4:41 I don't know why but that does sound like a Boston thing.
that kid getting ejected and suspended for doing nothing besides screaming is actually insane
MORE BASEBALL! Keep up the great work MLB for taking the fun of out the sport. This channel is fighting to bring it back!
0:16 Nah bro thought he was in the wwe💀☠️
The batter who had the novel idea of karate kicking the catcher at 16:28 before charging the mound was Izzy Alcantara. Hadn’t seen that clip in years but when I did the name immediately came back to me.
He must have had a crazed look in his eye because for awhile he couldn’t find anybody to fight with when he bolted for the mound. 😁
8:06 he hit a bomb, pimped it, than fought the pitcher 😂
Celebrating for a sport that doesn’t exist is wild
I was a catcher. Hit a shot out, act stupid, and we don't forget it. My pitchers always threw at the head tho. We figured it would knock the stupid out of you.
This game looks so fun! Someone should really bring it to real life!
Part of me likes the tradition and professionalism that baseball brings to the table compared to other sports...but the other part of me says BASEBALL IS FUN! It seems like most older players have issues with having fun, but the newer ones bring so much energy and excitement to the game. Yeah, we could just play a regular game of baseball, but wouldn't it be fun to have Brett Phillips come out in pitch in the 9th inning of a blowout game that we're not gonna win anyway!?
Other end of the spectrum: Kirk Gibsom hitting a home run off of Dennis Eckersley in game one of the '88 World Series. A's were heavy favorites; Dodgers won the series.
Dodgers are and have been the most fun team in baseball
Tbh most of that is because of Shohei. Their pitching has been frustrating to watch at times
Right on time, Now I have something to watch while I eat lol
My dad has a saying that I feel has become increasingly more apt in recent years: Pitchers are whiners and bitchers. Being allowed to hit someone for celebrating when they do well is genuinely fucked up and shouldn't be allowed under any circumstances
For real. Pitchers succeed 70+% of the time and you want to be a pussy the 30% of the time you fail? Embarrassing
"Pitchers are dumb by breed."-Ted Williams. "Pitchers are liars and crybabies."-Yogi Berra. I'm old school. I wouldn't say I like pimping home runs or bat flips. But those are NOT reasons to throw at hitters. But I gotta say that today's hitters are lucky that Bob Gibson isn't active today.
I would love to see baseball let players fight it out like hockey.. almost all the fights are just 1 guy running up to the other then both just dance around like they're gonna fight but chicken out or the whole team comes out to "hold them back" its so dumb
I don’t even like baseball but I love these videos.
Might be the camera angle but the Korean player looks safe - he put his foot back on the bag before the tag…?
back on the ground, but not quite back on the bag.
There are replays from the side angle that clearly show his foot doesn't go back on the bag.
If a pitcher can intentionally throw a ball at your head, you should be able to bring the bat to the mound
As soon as I saw the title I knew I'd be pouring one out for Michael Morse again 😞
What with these pitchers throwing a fast ball right at a person and then running the other way when they charge the mound...If pitchers get the ball the other guy should keep his bat and get one good swing on the other guys head
last guy looked like he got back in time
Love the context about the early days of baseball before NL creation. Would be sick to see a whole video on it.
The rules need to change to -MASSIVELY- punish pitchers who intentionally hit a batter in response to a celebration or a previous altercation. I mean...25 game suspension, automatic awarding of 4 runs (or if the team they beaned is down more than 4, enough to put them up by 1, or if the game is already lopsided the other way, they start their NEXT game down 4 runs). Have it be such a draconian penalty to where players know they are free to celebrate, over the top, including taunts, without any consequences coming after the fact.
No
I feel like all the little gimmicks and props and stuff just makes it even more family friendly right? I like it
Imagine if you throw at a batter for celebrating and it puts him in the hospital. You’d never sleep well again
That’s the mindset of a normal person. For an MLB pitcher, it’s more like, “Well I guess he’ll never try THAT again.”
The guy who killed Ray Chapman (the only MLB player to die on field) said he had no remorse and it wasn't his fault. He doctored the ball with dirt / Tabaco
17:53 ...i dont get it ..his foot was back on the bag
American baseball players have to be the most sensitive athletes, hands down.
1 - Footballers
2 - American Football WRs
3 - Hockey Goalies
4 - Baseball players
You have to put your hands down, otherwise they'll think you're celebrating.
You've obviously never watched basketball or European football lol.
Lmao just watch South American football (soccer) and you'll see egos being crushed 24/7
Baseball is maybe the most autistic team vs team sport (golf and chess are the most autistic individual sports)
The best segue from the video to a sponsor EVER. Well done!
the zyns on his desk😂
9:50
I love that you are a Braves fan as well. Went to Fenway this weekend and got rained out, so we're going to see the Braves at Fenway next year.
This video came into existence 3 minutes ago.
In the Reggie Jackson clip I watched that game, the reason why Reggie charged the picture was because the picture broke Reggie's bat!
These dugout celebrations are super lame.
Genuinely the smoothest cut to an sponsor ever
Love ur vids
16:38 Prince Fielder is the type of person to go "I got hit, oh well. "
Also a completely made up story 😂 he didn’t get hit bc of that in any type of way
ironic that baseball fans all say "there's no crying in baseball" when they cry the most over unwritten rules or because the team got their feelings hurt some dude pimped his homerun lol
Lmaooooo found the soccer fan
1 minute ago only 31 views, baseball must not exist!
I really enjoy watching your videos, they are amazing! Keep it up 🔥
Yankees did the pies to celebrate walkoffs in 2009, had approximately 7000 of them that season and won the World Series. Clearly the Orioles wanted to make sure that didn't happen by putting a stop to their pies.
YAY THEY POSTED!!
Man, baseball is metal.
And yeah. Celebrating AT your opponents is poor sportsmanship in any sport. Celebrate yourself and your team and the achievements you’ve made. Taunting and directing your celebration at your opponent is weak and shows lack of control and respect.
Come at me with the old head comments. I’m ready.
What is sportsmanship?
Top quality! Excited to see what you do next!

U don’t even have any vids stop talking
@@PrestonProdzzzzOFFICIAL brudda it’s a joke
@@tommyIsbest25iwho even asked if it was a joke? If anything it’s you.
@@PrestonProdzzzzOFFICIAL buddy why are you mad I was just making a joke
@@tommyIsbest25iI know but it’s still rude to say to a RUclipsr trying to do their job.
Hahahahaha dude 33 seconds around the bases is so good and funny
John McCain (of all people) complained about the Dodgers jumping into the Diamondbacks swimming pool celebrating their division title.
Harper threw his helmet to another dimension.
Clutch plays should be granted more clemency.
Clutching bases loaded with a strike out...
Robbing a homerun in a critical situation...
Clutch double play...
Clutch dive catch...
Let the players get an enthusiastic LETS GOOO
4:18 what is this story 😭🙏
Randy is 🐐’d for this moment!
Pie in the face didn't curse the Yankees in 09 😊
Nolan Ryan didn't do anything wrong with Ventura to get ejected. Yup he hit him on purpose but no warnings were given prior to the pitch and it was Baby Batman who charged the mound. The joke is who got 6 hits from Nolan, that would be Robbie.
Ryan didn't respect the game
@@anthonypang7927 you mean Ventura tried taking on someone he should've turned tail and ran from.
5:03 that was cute
great job on the ad. it was painless. watched the whole thing
That Bryce Harper helmet throw will always be the death of me 😭😭😭😭
