In Episode 80, we brought together members of the 1993 Cal State Fullerton and Long Beach State baseball teams that took part in one of the most infamous brawls in college baseball history.
30 years ago on April 16, 1993, a brawl broke out in the top of the fourth inning, when Long Beach catcher Brian Whatley plowed into Fullerton catcher Bret Hemphill during a rundown that precipitated a bench-clearing brawl. The brawl delayed the game roughly 15 minutes and resulted in four ejections.
Later on in the podcast we will lay out the exact details of the game and the brawl as described by Los Angeles Times staff writer Scott Miller published the following day.
We gathered together a number of Titans and Dirtbags from those 1993 teams and brought them together via Twitter Spaces in a roundtable discussion, each sharing their perspective on that fateful night. Those that joined us from the Titans included:
Mike Parisi - Pitcher
DC Olsen - First Baseman
Dante Powell - Outfielder
From Long Beach those that joined included:
Tim Falsken - 3rd Baseman
Rudy Rodriguez - Shortstop
(Catcher Brian Whatley wanted to join the conversation but was on a flight at the time and was unable to use his phone.)
