Yes.
McGraw, playing with the Baltimore Orioles, got into a fight with Tommy Tucker of the Boston Beaneaters during a game at the South End Grounds in Boston on May 15, 1894. Tucker went sliding into third base and McGraw kicked him in the head while attempting to apply the tag. As the fight was in progress, a fire started in the right field stands that made its way towards the stands behind home plate and eventually destroyed the stadium. The fire spread and damaged over 100 adjacent buildings near the ballpark.

Where can you find information about an 1890's Baltimore baseball pin?
1890's baseball in Baltimore is a little complicated with teams moving from league to league, and replacing one team with another. I will attempt to sum it up in one paragraph. In the early 1890's The Baltimore Orioles was part of the American Association league, and not part of the Major Leagues. After the 1991 season the American Association league folded, and the Orioles became part of the National league until 1899. Baltimore was dropped when the League contracted from 12 to 8 teams in 1900. The American League was formed in 1901, and became one of two leagues that make up Major League Baseball. From 1901-1902 The Baltimore Orioles was part of the American League, when in 1903 they Moved to New York and became the New York Highlanders until 1912, and became solely known as the "Yankees" in 1913. In 1894 the Baltimore Orioles were National League Champions beating the New York Giants. The pin you have could have been sold at one of two baseball stadiums of the day. Union Park, in Baltimore, Maryland 1891-1899 or Oriole Park in 1890 and part of the 1891 season.
