Today In 1973: New York #Mets shortstop Bud Harrelson and Cincinnati #Reds baserunner Pete Rose start a huge brawl during Game 3 of the #NLCS at Shea Stadium! #MLB #Baseball #History #Postseason | Baseball by BSmile

⚾️👊🏻On October 8, 1973 the Mets' 9-2 victory over the Reds in Game 3 of the NLCS will best be remembered for the Pete Rose and Bud Harrelson brawl started when New York’s feisty shortstop takes exception to Rose’s hard slide at 2nd base to break up a double play. After the fight, the Mets, fearing a forfeit due to their fans' rowdy behavior, send an emissary, consisting of Willie Mays, Yogi Berra, Cleon Jones, Tom Seaver, and Rusty Staub, out to left field to quell the crowd's unrest.👊🏻⚾️ #C
