Shields Up
June 5, 2008
The latest skirmish in the ongoing feud between the Rays and Red Sox occurred at Fenway Park on June 5, when Tampa Bay's James Shields hit Boston's Coco Crisp in retaliation for Crisp's rough slide into a Tampa Bay player the previous night. Crisp charged the mound, and both players threw roundhouse punches that failed to do any damage. A bench-clearing brawl, resulting in three ejections, followed.
