Most Memorable Moments of the Giants vs. Dodgers Rivalry | News, Scores, Highlights, Stats, and Rumors

On Aug. 22, 1965, the Dodgers and Giants met at Candlestick Park. The pitching matchup was top-notch, with future Hall of Famers Sandy Koufax and Juan Marichal squaring off. But the game will be remembered for what Marichal did with a bat in his hands.

After Marichal threw a high-and-in fastball that knocked down Dodgers shortstop Maury Wills, Koufax responded by throwing one over Giants center fielder Willie Mays' head. Marichal then threw inside to Dodgers right fielder Ron Fairly, and both benches were warned.

When Marichal came to bat in the bottom of the third, Dodgers catcher John Roseboro buzzed the Giants pitcher's head with a return throw to the mound. Marichal wheeled around, the two players began shouting, and Marichal clubbed Roseboro in the head with his bat. A brawl, predictably, ensued.

Roseboro required 14 stitches, and Marichal was suspended for eight game days and fined $1,750, the highest allowable amount at the time, per ESPN's Jim Caple.

Years later, the pair buried the hatchet.

"There were no hard feelings on my part, and I thought if that was made public, people would believe that this was really over with," Roseboro said in 1990, per Bill Plaschke of the Los Angeles Times. "So I saw him at a Dodger old-timers' game and we posed for pictures together and I actually visited him in the Dominican."

Added the former Dodgers backstop, "Hey, over the years, you learn to forget things."

That may be true. But it's safe to say this incident remains seared in the memories of Dodgers and Giants fans alike.
