…no, I didn’t leave early. That was the best regular season game I’ve ever seen. I’ve never seen fans point at a field in pure astonishment so many times: at the Yanks’ faux triple play with no outs and the bases loaded in the 11th (it seemed like one at first from the stands), at Jeter’s catch and dive into the stands, at the Red Sox’s five-infielder defense that had players swapping gloves on the field like little leaguers. I always want the Yankees to win, and win big, but this is a game I just didn’t want to end. Heck, I was even kind of rooting against the Yankees getting a base-loaded walk to win in the 12th—would have been the wrong way for it to end. Amazing stuff…
