That’s the 40 players who left the bench plus Dontrelle Willis (I left out Byung-Hyun Kim because I assumed he probably stayed in the dugout during the fracas). The list includes the entire Phillies roster, all Marlins’ bench players, and all Marlins pitchers (Dontrelle Willis would get two games). Not to mention both teams’ managers and coaches (notably Charlie Manuel and whoever manages the Marlins).
This, of course, is in reference to the NBA rule that roughly states that during an altercation, a player that leaves the bench is subject to a one-game suspension. If this were the NBA, the altercation would be Willis throwing behind batters and shouting at the Phillies' dugout. And the players receiving suspension for leaving the bench would be all of them.
**UPDATE! Coincidentally enough, Marlins' manager (Fredi Gonzalez) got suspended for a game for leaving the clubhouse after being ejected. I guess there are similarities in the NBA and MLB.
*Skip this list to get to the point - I also spent way to much time figuring out who would be suspended
