Major League Baseball is almost certainly going to dive into all the available video from Sunday’s bench-clearing brawl between the Angels and Mariners as the league evaluates possible suspensions. But leave it to a fan to capture the best view of the fight.
By now, you probably heard about what happened on Sunday. The Angels were upset about high-and-tight pitches to Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani on Saturday. So, in Sunday’s game, pitcher Andrew Wantz threw behind Julio Rodriguez, was allowed to stay in the game and then hit Jesse Winker the next inning.
After getting hit, Winker charged to the Angels dugout, and that was when this fan got the best view of a legit BASEBRAWL.

Like, whoa.
Winker especially was going at it with multiple punches at Anthony Rendon. Justin Upton — a former Angels player! — took a hard fall right at the start. There’s a lot to unpack there.
But hey, MLB fans did appreciate this new angle of the fight.
