This is the game for which I will always remember A-Rod, and earned him the short lived but highly appropriate sobriquet, "Spanky McBlue Lips." The sight of the billionaire slugger hitting a 70 foot squib, then reduced to slapping the ball out of the pitcher's glove, tells you all you need to know about him.
Thanks for posting this! This is the greatest single MLB game I've ever seen. The 1991 World Series, the 2004 ALCS and the 2018 ALCS were all incredible series. But this is the best single playoff game for me. It had Yankee arrogance. Stormtroopers down the foul lines. Drama. Reversed calls. And some of the bravest playing by any Red Sox team in team history. This is the game when once it was over, I knew the Red Sox were not going to stop winning.
Schilling was fantastic. As a Red Sox fan, don't ever forget the performance he put on, for Game 6. I remember when the yankees had 1st and 2nd and 2 out, I couldn't watch, but Foulke got the strikeout, as I knew the yankees were done in Game 7, as it was the Greatest Comeback in Sports. Red Sox are the King of Comebacks period! RED SOX ROCK AND RULE!
@@travisp5747 because he DIDN’T, when healthy he could still throw 94-95 MPH but because of his ankle he could only throw 88-89 MPH which is a HUGE DIFFERENCE in terms of pitching.
I’ll never forget watching faith rewarded, the 2004 Red Sox video… Someone asked Kevin Miller, why the Yankees didn’t bunt on SchIll because of his sock. I was a 17 year old kid in 2004, and I looked at my dad and asked the same question. His response?! Who gives a shit. Yankees suck! We finally got their asses 😂
i once read they didn't want to take advantage of his injury,they figured they didn't have to,also he is very hard to bunt off and has a very quick release...it all equaled out and if anything might give them the benifit. many coaches do not like to bunt especially when you had the home run hitters the yankees had.
@@danheino7006 that’s true. The other thing that came to mind was their lineup Jeter a Rod Giambi Matsui Sheffield olerud Bernie Williams posada. These guys aren’t bunting they’re driving in runs.
2:40:00 I knew I remembered riot police coming up onto the field, hadn’t seen it since the night it happened. That scene has always been overshadowed by ARod slapping Arroyo’s glove and I couldn’t remember exactly when the riot cops showed up. Had thought it was right after they reversed the ARod call
Joe Torre is one of the most respected in the business. he was on the other side of the field and had to look past many people and very well did not see it well like many umps didn't. i try to always be fair even if he is a yankee.Where i come from (coast of maine) we teach our kids to say yankeessuck before mommy or daddy !
one of the greatest playoff performances of all-time; 6x all-star; World Series MVP; 3x WS winner; 2nd in Cy Young voting 3x...and Schilling isn't in the HoF...what a joke
Tony Clark twice had a chance in this series to be this ALCS Aaron Boones. In game 5, in the top of the 9th inning with two outs and a runner on first base, Clark hit a double that would have scored the runner, but the ball went into the stands and the runner could not score. Yankees did not score that inning and lost later. In this game 6, down by 2 runs, with two runners on, bottom ninth, two outs, and he made an out to end this game 6. Imagine if he hit a home run in that at-bat to win the AL pennant on a home run for the second consecutive season. Wow!!!
WOw, I forgot that the cops took the field in the 9th inning. I wonder what would have happened if a fielder tried to catch a ball and the cops were in the way, or if a line drive went at one of the cops. WOW
