Box Score of the Week (Postseason edition)

Bitter rivals Yankees and Red Sox are currently battling it out in the ALDS. With that in mind, let's look back at their Game 3 matchup in the 2003 American League Championship Series.

--------------------------------------------

A lot of ugly moments in this game: Bean balls, benches clearing and a brawl in the Yankees' bullpen. 

But this game is best known for Red Sox pitcher Pedro Martinez slamming Yanks' bench coach Don Zimmer to the ground. Zimmer had charged Martinez during a bench clearing melee, seeking retaliation for Pedro intentionally beaning Karim Garcia and threatening to hit Jorge Posada in the head.
