There is an interesting collection of videos on Youtube covering a serious fight between the Flyers and Tbones. I strongly suggest that YOU watch the short videos documenting the event.

Not much anyone could do before all hell broke loose. I applaud the Tbone manager for trying to take control of his players and returning them back to the dugout after things began to settle down.

The video that hit home was when the Flyers HC blamed the ump immediately AFTER the fight had taken place and the UMPIRE'S strong reaction against the charge. I also note that the Flyers HC didn't do **** himself before that fiasco took place. I strongly encourage umpires to use it as a "training" topic with young umpires.

It would be interesting to know what penalties were handed out.

The question is.... who gets ejected in this? Just the guys that started the fight or what?

In FED anyone that leaves their posisiton to go fight is ejected, so since both benches cleared, is everyone ejected and the game thrown out?
