 | Monday, August 25th, 1969: Los Angeles-Brooklyn Brawl, Epstein and Friend Suspended
Baseball confrontations occasionally get intense and sometimes that tension becomes too much and boils over into more than just words. This time it happened to Los Angeles's Mike Epstein and Brooklyn's Bob Friend. The two were the main participants in a fight that cleared the benches. Today both were suspended by the league for 5 games for their aggressive actions.
"I hope things settle down now," the manager of the Superbas said later. "There's no reason for us to be locked in a cycle of revenge. We all need to focus on baseball instead."
This season Epstein has hit at a .260 clip and produced 44 RBIs, 12 home runs and 40 runs scored.
In 1969 Friend has a 13-9 record with a 3.35 ERA in 26 starts.
