The Florida Marlins were up against the New York Yankees in Game 6 of the 2003 World Series. One out away from being held scoreless in an elimination game, Jorge Posada was the last hope for the Yankees.
He didn’t have a chance against Josh Beckett. On this night, nobody did.
Long before giving the Marlins the most clutch pitching performance in their history, Josh Beckett was born on May 15, 1980 in Spring, Texas. Beckett was drafted by the Marlins in the first round (2nd pick) of the 1999 MLB Draft.
