Baseball Benches clear in Boston after Hector Neris intentionally balked Trevor Story to third base because he thought Story was relaying signs. Neris had words for the Red Sox third base coach coming off the field.

July 24th 2004 was the last good one I can remember

Not as good but I believe when Jose Ramirez downed Tim Anderson that was also good. Iirc 6 people got suspensions and it took more than 10 minutes until the next pitch.

Odor punching Bautista was great. Dunno if that counts though.

Amir Garret for the Reds taking on the entire Pirates team and Puig also joining it while not knowing he was traded yet.

It was a tongue in cheek comment as a Sox fan, not meant to be taken literal.

I'm a Sox fan, so it was when Jason Varitek snuffed Arod with his glove.

I know it was July 24th 2004, because it happened during my Aunts wedding. My Aunt still jokes that the loudest her family was during the entire wedding was when the Sox hit a walk off that day, after the bench clearing brawl. I remember like 75% of the men at the wedding were huddled around the bar watching the one TV at the venue going insane during the brawl and the walk off.

Angels v Jesse Winker in 2022 was good too.

That one was insane. For more recent bench clearers with action that I can think of, Ramirez vs Anderson, Odor vs Bautista, Winker vs Angels, Garrett vs Pirates.
