This may be one of Don Cherry's favorite fights–he showed it in it's entirety on a replay the following week on Hockey Night in Canada. Whenever McSorley and Probert were on opposing benches, you could mark your calendar for another classic brawl.

DETROIT – Dontrelle Willis, $29,000,000 over three years, discovered in June that even an All-Star's roster spot is not guaranteed when the Detroit Tigers tossed the left-hander out on his ass and shipped him to their Single A affiliate in Lakeland.
