0-0 through 14 1/2 innings. All that can be said is "wow"! Anyone who didn't like that game does not like baseball and definitely doesn't understand what makes baseball so great. Two incredible offenses were shut down for almost two complete games. Yankees pitchers held the Sox to 4 hits over 15 innings, 4 hits! And none of them were for extra bases! The Yanks were held to 9 hits, and four of those were in the 14th and 15th! Remember that just the night before the Yanks had 18 hits in 8 innings. Both teams were an unbelievable 13 for 82 (a .159 average). Incredible! In real estate it's all about location. In baseball it's all about the pitching and that changes each and every day.
This was the longest scoreless game the Sox-Yanks have played in their history, and it will go down as one of the all time greats in the series. That catch by Drew in the 14th was fantastic, Melky came within inches of a hit to win, and A-Rod breaks the longest homerless streak of his career. It was only the 5th time in major league history that a game scoreless in the 15th or later has ended on a walk-off homer. This is why baseball is the greatest game of all. Of course I'm happy with the outcome, but it would have been a great one even if the Yanks had lost. All I can say is "Wow"!
