11. Yankees rally after kid runs on the field
Sept. 18, 1993
Neither
team qualified for the postseason in '93, but they did provide a
memorable September moment nonetheless. The Red Sox held a 3-1 lead with
two outs in the bottom of the ninth when Boston pitcher Greg Harris
hit Mike Gallego with a pitch to put a man on first. Mike Stanley
followed with what appeared to be the game-ending flyout to left, but
timeout was called after a kid ran onto the Yankee Stadium field.
Stanley,
given another crack, singled to left. Wade Boggs followed with a
two-strike RBI single that cut the lead to one, and Dion James followed
with a walk. And then it was the Yankees' hero, Don Mattingly, who
walked off the Red Sox with a two-run single through the right side. New
York, much to the Red Sox's dismay, scored a most improbable win --
with a little help from the home faithful.
