I agree with your assessment that fights are almost always the result of poor sportsmanship - Bautista flipped his bat during the playoffs last season, and he was paid back. It's over now, or at least it should be unless Bautista wants his ass handed to him again on national TV.

I have coached little league for many years and I can tell you this; If a kid flips his bat after a big hit, or points to a batter he just struck out, he WILL apologize and WILL sit the next game. If there is a second incident he is done for the season as the boy AND his parents signed a statement promising good sportsmanship.

Pictured are Nolan Ryan and my 12 year old son Scott. I pictured Nolan along side him so that you could their almost identical mechanics and you would know that he is a hard thrower - He throws 70+ from 46 feet! Now, if some kid was dumb enough to flip his bat at Scott, he will get one in his ear hole (figure of speech, He'll get one in his ribs) the next time he's up to bat. Believe me, I wouldn't have to tell him to do it.

Also, baseball's demographic is wildly different than football in that the average fan is a little older, wealthier, and more highly educated - apples & oranges.

Had Bautista tried that stunt with a pitcher like Clemens, Ryan, Schilling, or Randy Johnson he would have had his brain scrambled. Had Bautista tried to charge the mound against those pitchers, he would have been destroyed by a big boy - not some light hitting second baseman.
