14 years ago today, Michael Barrett socked A.J. Pierzynski in the face, starting a benches clearing brawl between the White Sox and Cubs on the South Side. Six weeks later, Pierzynski got revenge against Barrett and the Cubs, hitting the game-winning home run in the 9th inning at Wrigley Field. On this edition of Distant Replay, Chuck Garfien, Ryan McGuffey, Vinnie Duber and Chris Kamka take a look back at the season when Pierzynski's legend crew on the South Side, and he became Public Enemy Number One on the North Side.
