Martin's role as a scrapper was well established. While managing the Twins in 1969, he clocked pitcher Dave Boswell so hard that Boswell needed 20 stitches. In '77, Martin and superstar outfielder Reggie Jackson nearly came to blows on national TV in a Fenway Park dugout (pictured). And in 1985, Martin and Yankees pitcher Ed Whitson got into a wild brawl at the team's hotel in Baltimore that left the fiery skipper with a broken arm.
