You do remember that melee? "Holy Cow, it's a war!" The Yanks and Boston and their respective fans were mortal enemies back in the 70s. The '73-'75 Sparky Lyle years were especially tough on us, weren't they?

Yep, I think it was Nettles that made sure Lee would "pay" for all his insolence and venom he inflicted upon the Yanks. AND the non-stop taunting. Payback reeeeally was a bitch for him -- he was never the same after that shoulder injury, was he? LOL!

Hmmm, is your friend a Yankee fan? I also recall the sight of A-Rod and Jeter joking around during that brawl with Seattle. I must admit to having the same gut reaction at the time as Chad Curtis -- "We're at war man -- what are ya doin'?" But Jeter is a different type of warrior -- the guy gives us 101% out on the field, hits .300 with 100 runs every year and is a great human being. Bottom line.

BTW -- the last inning of the Series was sooooo wrong wasn't it? Especially after pulling off all those great wins and with but ONE MORE INNING TO GO AND MARIANO ON THE MOUND....(sniffle)

My friend is a Mets' fan and Yankee hater, and his least favorite player is...Derek Jeter! He thinks Jeter is a pretty boy wimp (and for that matter, this friend has never forgiven the Mets' Mike Piazza for not charging the mound and punching Clemens during the World Series last year!)

Oy, I'm still trying to get over it. I really thought that mystique and aura were on our side, and that we'd win that game. All the stuff that happened that inning is supposed to happen to the Yankees' opponents, not the Yankees!
