Answer Question 104:

After dining one night at Danny's
Hideaway; a favorite restaurant of
the players in New York, a group
of Yankees players and their wives
went to the show at the Copacabana
nightclub. Two bowling teams celebrating winning their league
championships were there, drinking heavily, and they began shouting racial
slurs at Sammy Davis, the performer. The Yankees took offense, and Hank
Bauer asked them to knock it off, that
it was inappropriate and that they were embarrassing their wives. The bowlers
told them they weren't afraid of the
Yankees, no matter how great they might be on the field, and that if they
didn't like it they could settle it outside.
Both groups got up to go to the cloakroom, and a fight broke out. The
next day "Brawl at the Copa" was the headline in the New York newspapers.
