The San Francisco Giants won the World Series in 2014, but relief pitcher Hunter Strickland didn’t care. During the NLDS against the Nationals, Bryce Harper homered off him twice. Strickland waited patiently in the grass three years to get his revenge.

Strickland drilled Harper in the hip with a 98 mph first-pitch fastball. Harper charged the mound and threw his helmet at his rival. Strickland didn’t back down and punched Harper several times before the two were separated. One year after, Strickland finally admitted he was being stupid. We doubt Harper cares.
