First Replay Ever at Fenway Gives Mets Go Ahead Home Run
Posted by Señor Met in Boston Red Sox on May 23rd, 2009
Omir Santos was in a big spot. The type of spot every baseball player dreamed about for the first time when they were in little league. Down to your last out in the 9th inning, trailing by one run, Gary Sheffield on base (okay, Gary Sheffield probably wasn’t in your dream), and your playing in one of baseball’s hallowest grounds.
Omir Santos childhood dream came true.
Blasting a shot to the top of the Green Monster. Umm, but was it a home run. Ruling on the field, no. Ruling after Jerry Manuel made sure the umps didn’t fuck up the call by using instant replay, YES.
Home Fucking Run. good game Boston.
That was the first ever replay in Fenway Park history. And it is a replay that Boston fans will remember for a long, long time.
