More variable ejections

It would be cool if players could get ejected for stuff other than just arguing balls and strikes, and charging the mound / inciting a brawl. Arguing other calls (eg close calls at a base, balks, etc) would be the most obvious. It would be cool if other things could incite brawls other than HBP, and if players other than the two instigators could get ejected as a result.

To expand on this, how about possible injuries resulting from a brawl? Even just day-to-day ones like someone wrenching their elbow in the pileup. I've always done stuff like this myself in Commish mode, because otherwise, it feels like the brawls are a little pointless. Nothing happens besides the pitcher and batter getting thrown out. There should be a few extra variables thrown in there, for realism.

What fights IRL have been about something other than HBP?

Collisions at bases have caused brawls before (the Yankees - Rays spring training one was (directly) caused by someone getting spiked at second IIRC).

Cardinals/Reds - Brandon Phillips talking bad about the Cardinals before the game then tries to be Yadi's best friend at the plate.

Incidentally this fight caused the retirement of Jason LaRue (on point with the poster's suggestion of other players getting hurt, not just the instigators).

AJ Pierzynski vs Michael Barrett...That was a collision at the plate. AJ slapped the plate and Barrett ended up punching him.

Point taken but I don't think these one-offs get to 5% of fights in the big picture.
