FORT MYERS, Fla. — Boston Red Sox manager John Farrell returned to the dugout for the first time since revealing his cancer diagnosis in mid-August, and his team opened exhibition play with a 6-0 win over Boston College. Farrell missed the final seven weeks of the season while being treated for non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Hanley Ramirez handled a pair of easy plays in his debut at first base.

John Scott Leaves Bench, Sparks Massive Ducks-Sharks Line Brawl (Video)
The pressure was building the entire game. It was just a matter of time until things erupted, and they certainly did. In the third period of Sunday’s game between the San Jose Sharks and Anaheim Ducks, Sharks’ tough guy John Scott left the bench to fight Tim Jackman. The pair already had dropped the gloves early in the first period and earned matching fighting penalties. Round two turned into a full-out line brawl.
