During the ninth inning Thurman Munson doubled to left field. Graig Nettles grounded out (second to first) and Munson advanced to third. Felipe Alou was walked intentionally. Munson was then caught stealing home by Carlton Fisk and a fight erupted (see actual fight photo in thumbnail above | Image copyrighted by Corbis).
Fred Schwed, Jr., in How to Watch a Baseball Game (1957) wrote our favorite baseball box score quote, "The baseball box score is the pithiest form of written communication in America today. It is abbreviated history. It is two or three hours (the box score even gives that item to the minute) of complex activity, virtually inscribed on the head of a pin, yet no knowing reader suffers from eyestrain."
