The very first time I saw a fight on a baseball field was on TV and it was the infamous Robin Ventura vs. Nolan Ryan' fight. That one started the same way many of those begin: with a ball hit.
I remember that at first I didn't understand why Ventura rushed Ryan. After all, in Little League games when a Pitcher hits the Batter we get told it was an accident and that "a given base doesn't hurt". Which is a big lie, the hit still hurts even if you win the game with that given base. But that's a different story.
Much, much later I learned that in reality, very few given bases with a hit are accidents. At least among grown up players.
Funny thing, it's not just because a pitcher has decided that the best way to put a batter in place is by hitting them on the back or the shoulder (The easiest and safest targets), but sometimes also because a batter thinks a sacrifice bunt ball is not enough to insure the base and a future run.
