We have all seen brawls in baseball, but I can guarantee you haven't seen one like this.
A winter league game in the Venezuelan Professional Baseball League saw former Major Leaguer Alex Romero attack catcher Gabriel Lino with his bat after a pitch went behind him.
The pitcher who threw behind Romero was former Tiger Angel Nesbitt, who appeared in 24 games for the club in 2015. He last pitched for Double-A Erie in 2017 before electing free agency.

— Ryan Field (@RyanFieldABC) January 9, 2020According to Yahoo Sports:
Six players, including Alex Romero, Gabriel Lino and Caribes' pitcher Angel Nesbett, were ejected during the incident.
Minnesota Twins infielder Willians Astudillo was also ejected for his role. Astudillo (No. 37 in white) can be seen running in from his position at first base. It's difficult to make out his role as the brawl escalated and nearly spilled into the stands.
During the game five players were hit and nine were ultimately ejected.
