Forget Mayweather-McGregor; here's the real fight of the century

Not one, not two, but three times did the benches clear at Comerica Park in Detroit on Thursday, as the Yankees and Tigers wouldn't stop scrapping over a barrage of hit batsmen and hurt feelings. Four plunkings and a benches-clearing brawl added up to six ejections, including Tigers superstar Miguel Cabrera, who threw hands with Yankees catcher Austin Romine after getting thrown at by Yankees reliever Tommy Kahnle. But for all the serious Baseball Law Keeping that was being done, there was plenty of silly nonsense to appreciate, from David Robertson's dead sprint to the fight from the bullpen to CC Sabathia's obvious amusement at the ridiculousness of it all. As far as baseball fights go, this one was as good as it gets.
