The Wild History of Game 6
6.)Josh BeckettSlams the Door on the Yankees
BeforeMadison Bumgarner‘sbrilliant complete game shutout of the Royals this past Sunday, then Florida Marlins’ pitcher, Josh Beckett, was the last player to stymie a team with such dominance in a peerless effort against the Yankees in the 2003 series.
Beckett’s performance was a thing of beauty. He sawed off bats with 97 MPH fastballs that painted the corners; his curveball was breaking nearly two feet per pitch. He challenged a powerful Yankee’s lineup and made them look like tee-ballers.
Beckett’s series-clinching outing was one of modern baseball’s finest postseason pitching performances.
