Well Folks, this is fall baseball at its finest. Papi absolutely strokes this ball, that is a 100% line drive that gets out of the yard in a real hurry. Kind of reminds me of the line drive I poked in the Amenia, NY at the Connie Mack Championship game back in '09, but i digress. After going hitless through the first five (hats off to Scherzer, dude can straight out throw) Sox hitters knew they needed to get it going. Leave it to Pedroia and Ortiz, the heart and soul of the sox, to get everyone going again. This is Papi doing what Papi was born to do, come up big in October, wouldn't be surprised if the memo line on his paychecks just says "October Baseball." You have to tip the hat to Torri Hunter though, I mean the dude is 38 years and old and just throwing his body around for the team, up and over the bullpen wall no problem. I guess for an 18 million dollar salary i'd probably do a lot worse things than go face first over the wall in right, but we all have a breaking point.
