    Who is Sweet Lou fighting?

    There is a clip of Lou Piniella, during his tenure as Reds manager, getting into a knock down drag out fight with someone in the Reds clubhouse at Riverfront, but I can't tell who he's fighting!! I can't find a clip of it, but I think it's from 1990. I remember Lou kept yelling at the guy, saying things like "You don't wanna be treated like a man", and then they start flat-out fighting. But I can't see the person Lou is fighting - other people are getting in the way!

    Does anyone know the scene I'm talking about? Who is Lou fighting, and why? This being 1990, was it one of the Nasty Boys?

    I think it was Rob Dibble. I cant remember the story behind it but it was on the MLB Network for a top 50 list.

    Yeah, I just checked. Dibble, 1992.

    Lou must have been really POed, Dibble was built like a tank and was a real hothead himself.
