The spring training brawl - March 12
Perhaps the tone of the Rays' magical season was set in spring training, when minor leaguer Elliot Johnson barreled over Yankees catcher Francisco Cervelli in the ninth inning on March 10. The message was sent: These Rays played hard. They played to win. And they weren't going to be pushovers. Two days later, the Yankees and Rays would brawl after Shelly Duncan spiked Akinori Iwamura at second base.
