A ticket from the volatile 2003 ALCS game remembered for the Pedro Martinez–Don Zimmer confrontation.
Why This Ticket Matters
On October 11, 2003, the New York Yankees defeated the Boston Red Sox 4–3 in Game 3 of the American League Championship Series at Fenway Park.
Tension between the rivals erupted into a bench-clearing confrontation. During the disturbance, Yankees bench coach Don Zimmer charged toward Pedro Martinez, who redirected Zimmer to the ground—an image that became inseparable from the heated series.
This ticket represents one of the most contentious games in the modern Yankees–Red Sox rivalry. New York ultimately won the pennant in seven games on Aaron Boone’s walk-off home run.
