Memorable Moments

As with every championship team, there are a handful of memories that most fans remember.  The 2007 team was no different, as they had some very special moments.

On April 22nd, the Yankees were in Fenway Park for Sunday Night Baseball.  Taking a 3-0 lead heading into the bottom of the 3rd inning, the Yankees felt confident.  Enter Manny Ramirez, who started an onslaught of four consecutive home runs (Manny, JD Drew, Mike Lowell, Jason Varitek).  Those four home runs were only the 5th time in major league history that this event has happened.

Clay Buchholz throwing a no-hitter has to be mentioned here as one of the most memorable moments from that season.

Also, six Red Sox players were able to make the All-Star game.  While David Ortiz was the only player to start for Boston, four others were able to get some playing time.  Mike Lowell, Manny Ramirez, and Jonathan Papelbon were all able to be a part of the game.  Josh Beckett was able to record the win for the AL, as well.
