New York Yankees 4 at Boston Red Sox 3, F -- It was billed as a heavyweight bout: Roger Clemens vs. Pedro Martinez. In his upcoming book, Pedro Martinez discusses his scuffle with Don Zimmer during the Yankees-Red Sox brawl in the 2003 ALCS.

Taking a closer look at the replay, though, Carl Yastrzemski comes in to try to pull Fisk away, but Otto Velez flies in and blindsides Yaz.

Across the field, throngs of Yankees and Red Sox were together, some pulling hotheads away from trouble, others yelling at their opponents.

Clemens, who spends his between-innings time in the clubhouse, raced onto the field and had to be held back.

Tillotson and Lonborg exchanged words, with one report stating that Foy charged over from third base yelling “If you want to fight me, fight me.” Rico Petrocelli leads the Red Sox in the fight as Joe Pepitone charged out of the Yankees dugout to lead them in the throw down. "I think we've upgraded it from a battle to a war." At this point, the Red Sox are asking for Mookie Betts to curse them. Boston Red Sox great Pedro Martinez says New York Yankees' Jorge Posada ignited infamous Don Zimmer brawl in 2003 ALCS by insulting Martinez's mother; Pedro drops bombshell, says … The pitcher, John Curtis, said “Munson tried to stay on Pudge a little too long and Pudge wanted to get up and look for another runner, so he kicked him off him.” Fisk and Munson immediately squared off, with Munson punching Fisk square in the face. The man who was once so emotionally out of control in a playoff game that he got ejected in the second inning, soared after the benches had cleared twice at Fenway yesterday and he had seen Zimmer lying on the ground.

New York Yankees' outfielder Karim Garcia is hit in the upper back by a pitch from Boston Red Sox' Pedro Martinez in the top of the fourth inning of Game 3 of the American League Championship Series. The Yankees lead the series, 2-1, and as Jason Giambi said, "The point is, this is a big Yankee win. “I did. Just as the fight begins to calm down, Bill “Spaceman” Lee walks over past home plate to give some of the Yankees players a piece of his mind. Years later, Pedro reflected in his book that all he did was “help Zimmer fall faster.” The incident is his only regret he states: “When 72-year-old Don Zimmer came barreling toward me, I wish I had not grabbed his head and pushed him to the Fenway grass as he stumbled and fell forward. From then on it would be called the curse of the Bambino. When Zimmer went down after Martinez threw him, Zimmer's granddaughter, watching the game, burst into tears. This is what prompts Lee to start swinging as then Nettles and Rivers take down Spaceman Lee. Some days I feel more people remember me as the angry young man who pushed down a defenseless old man than as the pitcher who won three Cy Young Awards and a world title and wound up in the Hall of Fame.

Nelson and Garcia may face assault charges, Boston police said, and the Red Sox were outraged at what a team spokesman described as "an attack and beating that was unwarranted." While the enduring images will include a charging Don Zimmer, who was thrown to the ground by Pedro Martinez, and Martinez pointing to his head as he threatened to bean Yankee hitters, the timeless performance of the day belonged to Roger Clemens.

Martinez also hit Alfonso Soriano and Derek Jeter on July 7, knocking both out of the game.

This turned the Red Sox season upside down, losing their #2 pitcher and stopping their dominance over the AL East. Benches cleared in the fourth inning following a high-and-inside pitch from Yankees pitcher Roger Clemens to Red Sox outfielder Manny Ramirez.

It was obvious that it was intentional.” Later, Dempster admitted that it was purposeful. Benches cleared and the shoving began. Occasionally, high tensions collide to the breaking point…or fighting point.Following the MLB officially announcing that A-Rod would be suspended for the 2014 season, it was Ryan Dempster and the Red Sox’s last chance to take a swing at Rodriguez. Then Jim Lonborg defended Foy and hit the Yankee’s pitcher Thad Tillotson during his at bat (the DH did not exist in the American League until 1973). Just look at what they tweeted and deleted after resetting the luxury tax penalty when the calendar hit Sept. 1.For reference, here is what the Red Sox tweeted. Games between the Yankees and Red Sox weren’t nearly as scrutinized until this fateful standoff at home plate.Both Fisk and Munson were some of the best catchers in baseball, playing in the same division, each man leading his team offensively and defensively.

I did throw at him.” A-Rod got the last laugh, however, going 3 for 4 with 2 RBIs and a solo homer off Dempster in the 6th.The Red Sox Yankees rivalry was slowly becoming a forced comment each time the two teams faced off.
