The Washington Nationals have disappointed fans for years, consistently underperforming with one of the best rosters in baseball. In 2015, the tension reached a boiling point when Bryce Harper and closer Jonathan Papelbon got into a fight.

Harper flew out during the eighth inning of a September game. Papelbon greeted him in the dugout and choked him. He was suspended for four games. Harper won the feud when Washington traded for Mark Melancon and waived Papelbon as a result. Up next, there is no winner when someone’s life is on the line!
