Soxplosion Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 Just saw the highlights and Frank had a very nice AB. 11 pitches and he almost hit a bomb earlier in the AB. He hit this towering drive to left and he didnt move. It was kinda cool. Then he hit the final one and he knew it was gone. He came home and everyone was celebrating. This team is really impressing me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted July 4, 2003 Share Posted July 4, 2003 That at bat was so incredible it's scary. He's had a lot of big hits, but I wonder if he'd call that one of his most memorable at bats ever. I know the game wasn't for a pennant or anything, but that was a major at bat for a guy in his home ballpark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxplosion Posted July 4, 2003 Author Share Posted July 4, 2003 Well first off, it was the second walkoff homer of his career. That in itself makes it pretty memorable. But the game was important too. Against a huge rival when we were trying to complete a sweep. If we had lost, we would have lost the momentum. But PK and Frank stopped that. They really came up huge... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because I sure as hell can't. And that wasn't for a pennant race? I don't know about that. That game put us 1.5 out instead of 3.5 out. In my book, that at-bat was for a pennant race. We are now 1 game back of the Twinkies, and we could be ahead of them by Sunday. How much sweeter can it get? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember correctly and you're not just bulls***ting us, the other one came against the Twinkies too. 1999, I remember, because it was like his 12th of the year and it was in August.

Soxplosion Posted July 4, 2003 Author Share Posted July 4, 2003 It actually put us three games out but close enough. Im not sure where we woulda been if we had lost. And I dont know when the other one was. I just know that this one was the second walkoff bomb of his career... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
