Delirium ensued at Shea, while McNamara looked on stonily from the dugout. It rolled between his legs and scuttled into right field, as the winning run scored from second. He was relieved by Bob Stanley, who is next up in the sad roll call: Stanley threw a wild pitch (5–5) and then induced a grounder to first base, which in most circumstances would have sent the game to the eleventh inning, were it not for the supreme ill-fortune of the next man, Bill Buckner, the wounded warrior misremembered as the goat of goats, who didn't get his glove far enough down to stop the ball. Either way, the next man on the list, the reliever Calvin Schiraldi, lost the lead in the eighth, and then, still pitching in the tenth, after the Sox had taken a 5–3 lead in the top of the inning, gave up three straight singles (5–4), all with two outs. The reason for his departure is much disputed: John McNamara, the Sox manager at the time, has insisted for years that Clemens asked to come out of the game, citing a minor finger injury Clemens has countered that the injury-a developing blister-was more serious than people thought, and that, regardless, he never asked to be relieved.

Here’s hoping it’s an Angels hat better than this one Maddon rocked in 1999, though. So there you have it: Baseball’s a superstitious sport, and even a guy as intellectual and analytical as Joe Maddon travels with a sentimental keepsake. I held onto his hat a little bit this morning, and that’s probably the omen in a sense going into this game. So the one thing I’m relying on today is my dad. He passed away in 2002, we won the World Series, and I’ve had his old Angel hat in my bag since then. Maddon explained on Tuesday before Game 6 of the World Series that the hat belonged to his late father.Īsked if he noticed any omens before the game, Maddon said: But it’s not about any deep-seeded loyalty to the club that employed him as a bench coach for years.
