As PHB mentioned, there was the Torii Hunter/Jamie Burke thing 2 years ago. I don't remember if there was a retaliatory HBP though.

i don't think it was a direct retaliation, but i went to a
2004 game where garcia beaned koskie three times and was not even warned. the twins fans behind me were livid, but there was no retaliatory beaning by the twins (the everett HBP was incidental and occurred the inning before the third koskie beaning). but ozzie wouldn't have even made it to the plate the third time, because he already would have been dead or in the hospital or whatever. i guess the canucks just play ball differently than the venezuelans, eh?
