A Perfect 10
Sunday, April 26, 2009 – Fenway Park, Section 43
Red Sox 4, Yankees 1
It’s safe to say the first two games of the Red Sox/Yankees series were epic battles. Friday night featured a ninth-inning game-tying homer off Mariano Rivera by Jason Bay and an eleventh inning game-winner by (as I have dubbed him) the Greek God [...]
