Deadspin
Last week, the Red Sox and Yankees battled it out at Yankee Stadium. You might have heard about it. But we just today saw this shot above and, more to the point, the rather amazing video after the jump of a real, live Yankees-Red Sox fan fight.
This is why we bring our scorebook to the games and stare straight forward. This summer, the Leitch family is heading to Fenway for a Cardinals-Red Sox game. Let's all be nice, OK? We let you in Busch Stadium for free in 2004. Let's not fight. Heavens.

So what was he upset about?
That the dude stole some hot dogs?
/mandatory fat joke
INVISIBUL CORSET
ECW! ECW! ECW!
E-C-DUB! E-C-DUB!
no "shaved belly" tag?
@Sir Hotbod Handsomeface:
Bless your heart.
Nice.. The Yankee fans took the brunt of the damage and the Sox fan got arrested.
+1 everyone else.
@blastitbiggs:
"Manscaping" and "nightmare fuel" would work better.
Good thing I didn't eat breakfast this morning.
@Sir Hotbod Handsomeface: @Gourmet Spud: You both warm my cold, cruel heart.

The pregnant man is a Yankees fan? I hope the fetus is okay.
The nerve! Throwing Don Zimmer over a railing like that...
I've never seen a beached whale wearing denim before.
Not the most peaceful papal mass I've ever seen.
don't know why first order of business for the cops wasn't get that guys shirt back on
(F-D-DF) + punch
Are those pegged jeans?
that man was certainly not in any hurry to put his shirt back on.
"I still support the railing system!"

@McCroskey:
+1
Razor Ramon just choked on his toothpick.
Another drop in the stand(ing)s for the Yankees.
The Weather Girls approve of that first photo.
@Gordon Bombay: +1.
One Yankee fan done took his shirt off talkin' bout "Who else wanna fuck with Hollywood Cole?"
Will no one think about the unborn baby?
I'm guessing the person shooting this video was a Japanese tourist.
/not racist, just sayin'
Just slap eat up with sexy.
//gags for HOURS
So being drunk does help people survive car crashes/falling over railings.
"Why, that's Mercury, the closest planet to the sun. What it's doing down here in the stands, I haven't the foggiest."
The season hasn't really started until you throw out the first fat guy.
Artie Lange can not stop getting in fights.
It's like an episode of the View - one second of 'what the hell?' followed by excrutiating minutes of incoherent babbling when you realize it just won't get any better.
Will it?
Then you want to kill yourself for wasting the time.
@Rob Iracane: then you're not Jersey, son.
@Reasonable Doubt for a Reasonable Price: It's all fun and games until they crucify the Oriole.
@Grimey: +1
Call him Ishmael.
Wow. First the discussion last night, and now this. I didn't think it could get any more creeptastic.
@blastitbiggs: Nah, its the modern air (or fat) bags that provide cushioning in violent impacts.
Please come to Boston for the springtime
I'm stayin' here with some friends and they've got lots of room
You can sell your silly book on the sidewalk
By a bar where I hope to be drinkin' soon
Please come to Boston, Will Leitch, just remember to behave yourself
I hope he didn't lose the baby or that Masshole could really be up on charges.
east coast baseball: weak fights
west coast baseball: weak beer
You gotta love an owner that is so into the game he fights in the stands. Cheers Hank Steinbrenner, you fat bastard you.
@Juancho: Touché.
It would have been more impressive if he got put through a table or thrown off a ladder.
/Dudley'd
Dad?
Yankees fans have officially made more contact this season than Jason Giambi.
Butterbean has really let himself go.
May 8th I will be in Yankee Stadium for the Indians game and my only question is whether I wear the Larry Doby, Bob Feller or Gaylord Perry Throwback. Bring it, bitches!
I guess that was a fight.
This is why Hank Steinbrenner should be confined to the owner's box.
@Chief Wahoo: Come dressed as a midge, and get into their heads.
@crazyjoedavola: Oh shit, I should bring bug spray.
I went to click on the link under the fat guy picture and my work's firewall blocked it - under the category of "Lingerie and Swimsuit." What the hell was in that link?
Don't tase me, bro!
/Guy in white sweatshirt at end of video
Red Sox fans only fight when someone throws a slice of pizza at them. Then IT'S ON LIKE A WICKED PISSAH!
@Chief Wahoo: I'll be there as well. I planned on wearing my bright red Eckersley. Hopefully I'm not mistaken for a sox fan.
@Burning River: I'm sure it does not matter that Eck never pitched for Boston
Was that Joba's dad?
Is there a NY equivalent to "Masshole" ?
And this was over a baseball game, right?
No further questions, Your Honor.
@Burning River: I'm sure that it will matter that Eck pitched for Boston... dumbfuck
@Burning River: Really, you're going too? Very cool, last Indians regular season game in Yankee Stadium. I'm going early and photographing the hell out of the place. And drinking many beers.
Yankee Cap....$32
Seven Beers and a hot dog....$60
Attending my first game and last game in the Bronx..... priceless.
