Tigers/Twins brawl 1982 Sparky Anderson Interview

[oldjizzy]

"Pain Don't Hurt."

Greatest Sparky quote ever.

[StiffyBoy56]

Sparky, you were the worst manager in history. You were the classic turncoat during the baseball strike, being a manager and siding with labor??? WTF was your problem Sparky?? Well, you cant answer cause you're dead, but I think you were an ungrateful idiot. And guess what? Your worthless turncoat ass never worked again after that!! That's what assholes get.... shitted on!! Nothing good ever came out of Detoilet!!

@denver1110- I'm actually watching that episode as i type and had to look this game up on YouTube. I thought it was the blue jays they were playing so had to check. You just confirmed that this was the game in the episode! Thanks.

[Denver1110]

I was watching an old episode of Magnum PI the other day,  Magnum was watching a Tigers game on TV and it was this game! It showed them taking Rosema off the field on a stretcher.

Why or why does everyone pick on poor Ron Davis??? He was an ace set up man for Gossage in NY and as a reward, he gets traded to the Twins for...puke...Roy Smalley. No wonder he blew games like blondes blow bubbles.

[TheGeneralRule]

Twins players held a celebration when Ron Davis was finally traded ways.

I remember when this happened in 1982. Wasn't there 2 fights in that game vs Minnesota? It was a big deal when it occurred and they showed it on nationwide sports casts for a couple of days after it happened and this was before the internet and minute to minute updates by ESPN.

[Bobtography]

I was lucky to be at that game, and damn! I want to watch the footage!!

Yes, two bench clearing brawls, long resolutions to each. I remember Lance Parrish sitting on a batter while both of them watching the second fight, and Enos Cabell getting into a big side fight around 1st base. And if memory is correct, when all the dust cleared...Gibby hit a walk-off homer.

[armenianply]

good ole sparky one of the most greatest guys to meet.

[LAS121576]

Anyone have the brawl footage? One of the ugliest incidents ever was Dave Rozema's judo kick which ultimately ruined his career.

[heyitsmejojo]

man sparky will eat a goat and shit out a can

[mjs198027]

Captain Hook at his best.

Videotaping the TV screen makes an interesting video less interesting. If you ever have a chance to convert it directly from the source please repost it.

[johnjms2]

Telling me that taping the TV screen makes an interesting video less interesting is not interesting or helpful feedback in and of itself. Thanks for the words of wisdom. When I get the equipment, I plan on converting it, okay Mr. Helper?

[cheapholiday]

Bless you boy, taping the screen is good, looks like pinetar on the helmut. Maybe that's why the retainers at MLB can't touch this one cuz yer putting your camera on your home appliance. Tape your toaster burning more bread.

[johnjms2]

I had many more on here, but MLB Advanced Media had YOUTUBE remove them all. For some reason, they left this one up.

[GasHouseGangScout]

Wow, brings back memories of the 1980s Tigers. I remember watching these games. Thanks for posting!
