I agree with clouded sky. All of the fans were pounding on the wall, and it looked as if Sheffield (on a horrendous fielding play) ran into the fan's palm pounding the wall. It certainly was not intentional, and Sheffield's reaction was ridiculous. He let out his frustration that Tom Gordon just blew the game for the Yankees.

But, of course, it's NY-Boston, and it's a ridiculously over-publicized rivalry, especially when you can see baseball that is just as good, if not better, in other places in the country, without all of the brawls and crap.
