No brawl. What happened was Pedro hit Karim Garcia with a beanball in the back. Tension ensued. Pedro exchanged words with the Yankee dugout, especially Don Zimmer (old guy) and Jorge Posada. Pedro imtimated to the Yankee dugout that he'd happily throw more beanballs.
Bottom half of the inning, Clemens throws high and slightly inside (still over the plate) to Manny Ramirez (not chin music, just high and barely inside) and Manny lips off to Clemens. Benches clear.
All of a sudden 72 year old Zimmer runs at Pedro, who came off the bench with a left handed swat - Pedro pushes Zimmer down to the ground with a sidestep of some sort. Zimmer is dazed and down to the ground for a few. He gets up and gets a BandAid. Play resumes.
Then late in the game (9th inning?) a Sox groundscrew member somehow got into the Yankees bullpen and mixes it up with shitty reliever Jeff Weaver - somehow the cops got involved, Karim Garcia hurts his left fist...don't know.
Good baseball, bot a totally fucked up game that won't help Boston/NY relations.
I was at game 1 in NY (drove down from Boston) and saw the Bald Eagle give Jeter the flyby while F-14s flew overhead. Really bizarre series.
As for the replay - watch sportscenter - nobody else is likely to have express written consent...
