The 1912 Fight
I thought this was mildly interesting. Combing through newspaper articles looking for another player I found this image of the man Ty Cobb severely injured in a brawl. His name was Claude Lueken and the article states he was a cripple with only one hand. He had apparently spent an entire game heckling Cobb and led to the player lunging into the stands to confront him. This fight led to Cobb being suspended and the Tigers playing a bunch of misfits for one game on May 18.
