Baseball “fights” are hilarious it’s always just a mass of humans that moves like a tornado and barely any punches ever get connected.

[thunderlightning]

Geeee- back when there were real Fans filling the stands

[ricketycricket]

all baseball fights: HOLD ME BAAAACK!!!

[jll]

Theres gonna b someday when a player is gonna beat the fucking shit out of ventura due to being sick of his complaints and starting fights

[josephs.]

See, if Greg Gibson was the Home Plate Umpire....he would have motioned to both players and promptly ejected them.

[drewv]

Ventura's teammates must hate him. Always causing trouble for no reason. They always have to stick up for this baby.

[RawkLife]

Eaton yelled something nasty at Ventura, Jeff Semarza attacked Lorenzo Cain, and then tried to attack Salvador Perez. Yet, the only ejection was against Ventura for telling Eaton to f*ck off? WHAT A CROCK OF BULL!

[clayramsey]

This was absolutely ridiculous. Eaton did absolutely nothing wrong.

[J-Roy]

You guys do realize that Samardzija would absolutely fuck up Lorenzo Cain, right? Jeff was a stud football player at Notre Dame and was going to be a first round pick but chose to play baseball instead.

[vtlomboy]

ofcourse the fans enjoy it, every game needs a fight to happen or it's too damn boring

[dtice]

i love how he ALWAYS starts the war of words with someone on another team, sometimes adding a casual little 95 mph fastball to the ribs for good measure, and then has the gall to put his hands up and act like he did nothing when umps and his own teammates try to separate him from his impending ass whooping

[rafaelsanabia]

Exhorto a los jugadores dominicanos a no involucrarse en los pleitos liderados por Yordano Ventura, para que no se desacrediten, actuen con discresion y dejenlo que lo suenen, para que respete el baseball.

[omarreyes]

Nadie lo recordara, era un tipo con cualidades extraordinarias, pero no sabia de humanidad,

[a.w.b.]

RIP Yordano. Really sad, people may not have liked him but he brought spice and edge to the game...

[KunraVong]

I've watched several vids showing Ventura causing a fight...he always seems to end up far behind his fellow team mates during the fights.

Do not know why he is causing these fights, but, all I see, is his Team Mates getting hurt if he keeps doing this and not himself.

[bochafish]

Love the Shark, he was never afraid to throw down.

[famguy]

Ventura is the goon of the Royals like in hockey.

[goit]

Wow! I could count the entire stadium crowd on two hands. How about those awesome Sox! Great fan support!

[supadog]

It's funny how something that happened almost in April it causing people to "hate the royals". You aren't any fan of baseball if something that small is causing you to hate a team. Ventura after this was a total different guy. Respectful and hasn't had trouble since. It's obvious the people calling the royals "trash" or "unclassy" don't watch us in the first place because you would know how 9/10 of the players on our team really are. Do your research on our outstanding players. Moose, Hos, Salvy, and Gordo are just some of the many class acts. Go on and hate the royals if you want, but you probably hate them because they're having a good season.

Why does everyone throw Ventura under the bus
