COMMENTARY
The symbolism of it happening on September 5 is just too strong to ignore.
The 2018 Red Sox won so many games, and so many in unlikely fashion, that there’s probably only a handful that truly stand out going on a year later. Given scarcity, there might be as many memorable individual losses as wins: The debacle on Opening Day in St. Petersburg, the no-hitter in Oakland, and the 18 innings in the World Series just to start.
If I say “the Atlanta game,” however, I suspect you know to what I’m referring.
