war?

"Baseball is a red-blooded sport for
red-blooded men. It's no pink tea, and
mollycoddles had better stay out. It's a
struggle for supremacy, survival of the
fittest."

--Ty Cobb

"Some guys are admired for coming to play, as the saying goes.
I prefer those who come to kill."

--Leo Durocher

From a site called Old School Baseball http://www.bcn.net/~erbiii/, a tantalizing, must-see surf for any baseball enthusiast!or baseball NUT like me

Cobb also once said: "Baseball is war."
