Wow...you were there?
That's something you'll remember your whole life. I started watching the game from the beginning. When the Sox starting scoring and were 4 runs ahead, I got panicky. I couldn't continue watching, so I kept flipping back and forth. Luckily, I was watching when Posada got that single and all those runs came in to tie the game. The rest was breathtaking. I was worried that the game might go to 12 or 13 innings and then all Joe had left were White, Contreras and Weaver in the bullpen. I wasn't comfortable knowing any of those three might have to come in.
Well, thank goodness for Aaron Boone. I never thought he would get a hit---nevermind a homer off Wakefield.

What a miracle!

My biggest pleasure was seeing Pedro's face when it was all over.

I was lucky enough to be there with some great friends. It was the most exciting event I had attended and something I will never forget.

You're right about the pitching,we were getting nervous. Innings 4 thru 7 we were getting real worried and the zing had gone out of the crowd. The one thing we kept saying was anybody but Weaver!

We were on our feet from the 8th inning on. During the 10th we needed to make a call about missing our train back to Jersey if the game went 12 or more innings and it was a no brainer. There was no way we were gonna leave that game and would have walked back to Jersey if we had to.
