9. A-Rod Walks It Off
There was a 0-0 standstill occurring at Yankee Stadium on Aug. 7, 2009, as the game entered the bottom of the 15th inning.
The Red Sox sent their last available pitcher, Junichi Tazawa, to the mound for his Major League debut.
After working out of trouble in the 14th, he surrendered a leadoff single to Derek Jeter and then what happened next turned Tazawa’s debut into a depressing one.
Two batters after Jeter’s single, Alex Rodriguez cranked a home run to left to give the Yankees one of their signature wins of the 2009 championship run.
