year’s MLB post-season action?
It’s been a decade now and it’s still too fresh for many Detroit Tigers’ fans. Detroit led Boston 1-0 in the American League Championship Series after stealing Game 1 in Fenway Park and led the Red Sox, 5-1, with two outs in the eighth inning of Game 2 when David Ortiz came to the plate with the bases loaded and faced closer Joaquin Benoit. The rest is history or ignominy for Tigers’ rightfielder Torii Hunter who was posterized along with one of Boston’s finest in the Red Sox bullpen.
Boston wound up walking off Game 2 and went on to win Game 3 in Detroit. The Tigers’ knotted the series at 2-2 in Game 4 before losing Games 5 and 6. This moment, however, was viewed as pivotal in the series.
