You thought the Field of Dreams game wasn’t sufficiently exciting, didn’t have enough twists and turns? OK, said the White Sox and Yankees, we’ll give it another try, only this time we won’t settle for just nine innings worth of tension.
In the end it came down to the White Sox having the bases loaded and two outs, down two, bottom of the 10th, and Tim Anderson — who else could it possibly be? — at the plate. Alas, this time, after Aaron Boone tried to once again give the game back to the White Sox by putting one-time All-Star but this year injury- and competence-challenged Zack Britton on the mound in the 10th, he pulled Britton after two four-pitch walks and a single put the winning runs on base.
