If you're an old-time Royals fan, Ed Farmer was a villain. In one game in 1979, he hit two Royals with pitches -- broke Frank White's hand and Al Cowens' jaw. They each missed a month. The Royals finished second in the division by 3 games.
A year later, Cowens had been traded (first to the Angels, then to the Tigers). He faced Farmer again, and when he grounded out he ran straight to the mound and fought Farmer.
