Baseball became the latest medium for violence between Canada and Mexico, on Saturday.
A bench clearing, punches thrown and connected fight occurred in the ninth inning of a game between the two countries.
Organizers of the The World Baseball Classic said no one would be disciplined over the brawl.
The two countries have a growing sports rivalry, which is increasingly physical.
Previously, it's been mostly contained to soccer games, with both men's and women's games having confrontations.
Officials, especially in Canada, are becoming increasingly worried by this, as they see it hurting their national image.
Mexico, on the other hand, appears to be desiring of more physical conflicts.
It will be up to sports leagues how long they will allow this to go on.
