Is there any history between Yankees and Blue Jays?

It seems that in every single game someone gets beaned in the head. Last season there was a bench-clearing brawl, today Cervelli got hit in the head, it’s only Spring Training. And that’s just a couple of examples.
Cervelli was hit because Molina wanted to send a message to the Yanks. Hes pissed that they let him go and he has to be on a very bad Blue Jays team. He called a bean ball.
A- Rod was running the bases and yelled something out so one of the toronto blue jays infielder was mad
I am an umpire, and what many people fail to realize is that most of the time a hit batter is just a mistake by the pitcher. No one cares when the ball is 12 inches outside of the strikezone, but if its 12 inches inside apparently that means that the pitcher/catcher/team is mad at the other… no.
As for specific history, the last year, the last 2 series between the 2 teams, Yankee pitchers hit 7 blue jay batters. When Jorge Posada came up to bat and threw a ball well behind Posada to warn him to stop. Posada got mad, and later when rounding home plate hit started a bench clearing brawl by elbowing the Jays pitcher Jesse Carlson.
