The Boston Red Sox have not had a good old-fashioned bench-clearing brawl in a long time. They’re due. In fact, they’re overdue. Throughout the 1990’s, 2000’s, and 2010’s, there were a plethora of skirmishes, fracases, and donnybrooks. We saw fisticuffs, frays, melees, and brouhahas. We saw pushing, shoving, and, in some cases, pushing AND shoving.
