He still beats Ibanez if you include it, though Nehf doesn't.
I think it's some bald men look like they're bald because one of their parents was a turtle. Raul Ibanez is the third type of man.
Just after Aaron Boone hit his homer off Wakefield in 2003, a FOX sports guy ran out on the field to do an interview with Aaron on the field. He wrapped it up by saying "Bret Boone, World Series Hero!"
Well, it was not Bret, but Aaron. And it was the ALCS, not the World Series. But other than that, great tagline.
Sidenote: that reporter's name is Curt Menafee, and he has gone on to some national attention on football telecasts. I spent a week or two struggling to get this story onto his Wikipedia page, but I couldn't prove it and went down to defeat.
Babe Ruth was caught stealing second by 10 feet with 2 outs and the Yankees down by one in the 7th game of the 1926 World Series.
Please, the only hope the Orioles have is that Phil Hughes craps his pants tomorrow. Which is, admittedly, entirely possible, but.... ugh, I'm just so depressed.
That's me with Darren Oliver, except it's more like "Wait, Darren Oliver is still around?" And then I look up his stats, and say, "Wait, Darren Oliver is still around AND he's a good reliever?"
And Gehrig was up, don't forget.
I believe a guy named Aaron Ward holds that distinction in the 1921 World Series. I can't fully remember the details, and Wikipedia is no help, but if I recall correctly he was thrown out at third in a similar fashion as Drew, and this was the last out of the series.
But I LOVE the late-game turnaround threads here.
I feel like I am wearing a suit of armor while so many Primates have the front of their wrists extended, metaphorically, waiting until some of them "bleed" (not really, but it hurts).
I think I had a good compilation of Aaron F-in Boone comments here in a 2003 thread that fascinated me (and I'd take Sox over Yanks with gun to my head, even with Mrs Howie a Yanks fan).
Point was not to be mean, just fascinated by the raw passion...
Pettitte was good, too. Yankee offense is the issue.
Perhaps not if he was so bad that Girardi put Ibanez in.
Absolutely. This is the first series I can remember where I've only been rooting about 98% for the Yanks, and if Angelos didn't still own the team it'd probably be closer to 90%.
It's saying he isn't a sports fan, because he works in the industry.
I have vivid memories of the Kazmir/Zambrano thread here. The first post was the title of a Nine Inch Nails song: "help me i am in hell". That was the entire post. I also have stronger memories of the recent Mets / Red Sox collapses than anything the Jays have ever done because of posts here.
Bottom of the 9th, Yankees Batting, Behind 0-1, Giants' Art Nehf facing 5-6-7
Babe Ruth pinch hits for Wally Pipp (1B) batting 5th
NYY B. Ruth A. Nehf 10% 87% Groundout: 1B unassisted
NYY A. Ward A. Nehf -10% 77% Walk
NYY H. Baker A. Nehf 23% 100% Double Play: Groundout: 2B-1B; Ward out at 3B/1B-3B
0 runs, 0 hits, 0 errors, 0 LOB. Giants 1, Yankees 0.
Looks like the Yankees couldn't hit Nehf with a ####### paddle that day, but, yeah, going for third in that situation seems like a bad idea.
fun tweet

Ibanez, on his way into the interview room, had a bottle of water. Some flack asked him to pour it into a Gatorade cup. See it to his left?
It could get even worse: If it's Yankees-Cardinals you'd be rooting for an 88-win team to WIN the World Series.
3b coach Mike Gallego was sending him all the way.
(looks it up)
Probably, unless he did better than a .912 WPA in the World Series somewhere in there.
This was a best-of-nine series, and Nehf had already thrown two CGs, losing 3-0 and 3-1.
Maybe he thought the game would be 4-1 now had he thrown a fastball to Prince?
I went into the SF series with a "Let's just see what happens" attitude, but since the Reds went up 2-0, I will be pretty down if they lose Game 5.
I would also like to see the Nats beat the Cardinals, so yeah--shitty day in NL for me.
Your confidence is well-placed.
