In the 1970s, perhaps the true heyday of baseball brawls, a peaceful game of baseball could turn into something loosely resembling a hockey match in the blink of an eye. This particular case was no different - in the sixth inning, with the Yankees up 1-0, Lou Piniella chose to (very obviously) intentionally barrel into Carlton Fisk at home plate to try to knock the ball loose and score. Carlton Fisk wasn't having it. He blocked the plate and then proceeded to throw Piniella to the ground, swinging punches at him upon dropping him. The benches inevitably cleared. Offered here is an incredibly detailed pencil drawing of that exact moment of altercation. Is measures 25.5x23" and is artist signed and dated '76.
