Because the teams played each other so often, it wasn’t unusual for there to be some scuffles here and there. But no one could be prepared for Giants pitcher Juan Marichal hitting Dodgers hitter John Rosoboro with his bat, sparking one of the biggest fights in the history of the rivalry.

Part 3 is titled Transition and will cover the 70s and 80s, where there will be a lot more of the same when it comes to this storied rivalry.
