Most Exhilarating Brawls In New York Yankees History

October 11th, 2003

It was nothing new to see when the Yankees and Red Sox got into a scuffle at any point during a ballgame, but this one was unique for an unfavorable reason.

During game three of the 2003 ALCS, during a bench clearing brawl between the hated rivals, Yankees’ bench coach Don Zimmer stormed out of the dugout and attempted to tackle Pedro Martinez.

Martinez skipped out of the way and threw the 73-year old straight to the ground in one of the craziest fights in baseball history.
