On Wednesday night, I watched episode one of The Comeback. The episode reinforces every negative feeling I’ve ever had about the New York Yankees. They’re (rightfully) portrayed as vile, holier-than-thou people who think baseball is something other than a game. Not that you need reminding, but the 2003 Red Sox season that’s highlighted in that episode was ended by Aaron Boone’s walk-off home run in game seven of the ALCS. Tim Wakefield pitched a great game, but in the 11th inning, he threw a knuckleball that didn’t quite knuckle and found its way to the seats.
Thank You, Tim Wakefield (For Making Aaron Boone The Yankees Manager)
