Posada and Carlson caused a bench clearing brawl

New York Yankees catcher Jorge Posada and Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Jesse Carlson have both been handed 3 game bans for causing a bench clearing brawl at the Yankees home ground on Tuesday evening.

The visitors won the game 10-4 but it was the mass brawl that erupted in the eighth inning when Posada and Carlson clashed, which completely overshadowed the MLB game.

Players from both benches spilled onto the pitch to get involved in the almighty scrap, which left several players needing treatment.

MLB’s vice president Bob Watson has criticised the pair for their ‘aggressive and inappropriate actions’.
