David Ortiz's home run last night was his 37th at Skydome, the most ever by a visiting player. Also, Ortiz became the 14th-fastest player to reach 1,500 RBI (2,067 games) since RBI became an official stat in 1920.

Good times! :-)
ReplyDeleteMy short post after that game. (I took my run-on sentence description and put it into DLUWT.)
ReplyDelete"This game could really turn this team around. They played hard Friday, but fell short. Today, they stormed right back after both the fight and the Yankees' 6-run 6th and puts several runs on the board. ... I'm ready for a 20-4 run. I believe! How about you?"
From that day to September 3, they went 27-9!
If there is such a thing as a depressed frenzy, SoSH is in one right now.
