are there any yankees that are having "all-star seasons" other than rivera?

A-Rod, Sheffield and Posada are all in the AL top 15 in Equivalent Average. Even as a Yankee hater, I can acknowledge they're legit All-Stars. A-Rod falls short only by his previous Olympian standards, and unlike hstencil, I don't think he's overpaid by a cent.

"I've seen a lot of brawls," former Angel Bobby Grich told he Los Angeles Times, "but never during batting practice."
So what happened? The night before, Laird accused Kennedy of leaning into a pitch, hoping to get hit with the bases loaded to force in a run. He told him as much during that at-bat.
Kennedy sought to revisit the issue the next day . . . and one thing led to another. It started when Kennedy glared at his accuser.
"Do you have a problem?" Laird asked.
"Don't be trying to show me up," Kennedy said.
And then the two became entangled. Rangers outfielder Brian Jordan, the former Cardinal, jumped in and applied a headlock on Kennedy as the two teams converged.

lol the one ump looks like he ate a couple fans during the brawl
― ( ´_ゝ˙) (Dr. Phil), Thursday, 6 August 2009 04:20 (fourteen years ago) link
The huge ump who hits the turf is John McSherry, who died on the field of a heart attack on Opening Day 1996 in Cincinnati.
What doesn't that brawl have? Bat wielding, fan trying to swipe helmet, fans in cuffs, multiple Tim Flannery eruptions, etc.

maybe not... I think that's future Yankee blowhard John Sterling in the Braves' booth.
I know the '84 Padres were filled with crazed John Birchers, I think Flannery was one of them.
From the SI vault:
Umpire-in-chief John McSherry, who ejected 13 players altogether and cleared both dugouts after the ninth-inning fracas, said afterward that this game was "the worst thing I've seen in my life" and that it had "set baseball back 50 years." Williams, who is 55, hasn't been in the game that long, but he's definitely a baseball man of the old school. "We had some honor to defend," he said at a press conference Friday. "Perez is a headhunter. There's no question we went after him. I'm responsible for it. I'll accept the penalty, but I think it's pretty steep." Perez, who had hit only two batters in his previous 135 innings, denied he had been throwing at Wiggins, but was fined $300.

I don't think Flannery was one, but I could be wrong. Eric Show was the ringleader.
