03/12: Yankees, Rays Throw Fisticuffs
Apparently there was still some bad blood over the collision at the plate the other day that left Francisco Cervelli's wrist broken, and a
brawl escalated in today's rematch as Shelley Duncan barreled into second basemen Akinori Iwamura in an apparent retaliation. A brawl ensued and among the three Yankees ejected were Duncan, Kevin Long, and third base coach Bobby Meachem.
The game was not on T.V. today so I didn't see it, but God have mercy on Iwamura's soul. Hurts me just to think about it.
EDIT: It appears it all started when a spikes-up slide by Duncan (not really barrelling by my sense of the word, but unnecessary nonetheless) into Iwamura provoked Jonny Gomez to charge in and tackle Duncan from RF. Newsday has photos of the incident
here.
