This is one of those games where you just look at the names in the Yankee lineup and appreciate it: Derek Jeter, Robinson Cano, Gary Sheffield, Alex Rodriguez, Hideki Matsui, Jason Giambi, Jorge Posada, Bernie Williams, Melky Cabrera. The Indians had a nice collection of talent too, and this was an entertaining game between two of the best teams in the AL. Grady Sizemore pulled the first pitch of the game for a homer, but the Yankees four-run fourth allowed them to carry a 5-3 lead into the ninth.
Enter Sandman, but the Indians put the tying runs on base. In an 0-2 hole, down to the Tribe’s last strike, erstwhile Yankee hero Aaron Boone dumped a single into right to put the tying run at third. Grady Sizemore rolled the next pitch to Tino Martinez who recorded New York’s twenty-seventh putout.
