'“Nobody did nothin’ to nobody” was how Yogi Berra memorably insisted on the Yankees’ innocence. But the bowlers and the crime reporters weren’t buying. Suspicion centered on Hank Bauer, the beefy right fielder. Edwin Jones was the hapless victim, a 42-year-old delicatessen owner (and lifelong Yankee fan) who contended that, as Harvey Aronson of Newsday wrote the next day, he’d gone “down like a tenpin” when Bauer socked him. Or it could have been the famously hotheaded Billy Martin, who was never far from trouble. But Joey Silvestri, now 88, says the ballplayers were in fact quite blameless. “There were no Yankees involved in the fight,” he said recently. “Nobody threw a punch but me.”'

The legendary Copa scandal, and how it changed Yankee history.
