Long before Aaron Boone was the oft-maligned manager of the New York Yankees, he played the hot corner for the club, albeit only for a hot minute. His tenure happened to coincide with the last gasp of the Yankees’ seemingly eternal dominance over the Boston Red Sox.
The 2003 ALCS was a back an forth affair. Boston won Game 1, but after that the clubs alternated victories to send the series to its decisive Game 7 in the Bronx. The Yankees sent Roger Clemens to the mound to try and clinch the series, a tough task, considering Pedro Martinez had the ball for Boston.
