Don Zimmer eats a Pedro Martinez punch during
Game 3 of the 2003 AL championship game.
It's in the Top Ten but probably not the worst:
10. Ty Cobb starting a brawl in Philadelphia after a hard slide into third.
9. Ron Artest instigates a brawl in Detroit that spills over into the stands.
8. Zidane head-butting an opponent in a World Cup final.
7. Joe "Turkey" Jones pile-driving Terry Bradshaw into the turf head-first.
6. Todd Bertuzzi sucker-punches a Colorado Avalanche player from behind and puts him in the hospital.
5. Wayne Maki cracking Ted Green's skull with his stick during an *exhibition* NHL game.
4. Kermit Washington's punch that fractured Rudy Tomjanovich's face.
3. Juan Marichal beating Johnny Roseboro over the head with a baseball bat.
2. Dennis Rodman marrying Carmen Electra.
1. Mike Tyson biting off a piece of Evander Holyfield's ear.
Good List But I would delete Rodman and ad Pete Rose All star game.
What about Tonya Harding getting the other figure skater attacked and injured. (forgot her name)
The guy that picked up Bret Farve and dump him on his head long after Farve threw the ball has to make the top 10.
Well, I would certainly put the Minn.-OSU Luke Witte basketball incident in the top 10.
Well, while it was an accident, I think Clint Malarchuk's injury was clearly the ugliest thing I have ever seen in sports, if not anywhere.
For those unfamiliar, he is a former NHL goalie who, while playing for the Buffalo Sabres in 1989, was hit in the throat by the skate of an opponent in a collision. It sliced open his outer jugular, and he instantly began spilling pools of blood all over the ice.
You can see a video on Youtube, but it is EXTREMELY graphic and not at all for the faint of heart. I'd have to warn you a thousand times over on that, so I'm not posting a link - if you want to see it, you'll have to find it yourself.
The French side is filled with slammies -- like the "reverter" < a href = "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franck_Rib%C3%A9ry"> Ribéry</a>
