The Boston Vs. New York Rivalry Extends To The Minor Leagues



LIVELEAK - A brawl broke out behind home plate early in Friday night's game between the Greenville Drive, Boston's affiliate, and the Charleston River Dogs, New York's affiliate. Drive pitcher Miguel Celestino nailed Charleston's Slade Heathcott in the head with just his second pitch of the game. Heathcott immediately attacked catcher Christian Vazquez and both dugouts cleared. The fight went on for nearly more than a minute before the teams were separated. Heathcott and Vazquez were ejected and the River Dogs went on to win 6-2.

Big Leagues, Minor Leagues - doesn't matter. New York and Boston are like oil and water. The Hatfields vs. The McCoys. It's amazing how we ever cooperated against the Brits. Football, baseball, basketball and hockey have all had some pretty heated moments. I'm just happy the River Dogs beat those asshats and won the game.
