Raul Ibanez ALDS Game Three Heroics
I was lucky enough to attend game 3 of the ALDS between the Orioles and Yankees in the Bronx. It ranks up there among the best games I’ve ever attended, thanks to one Raul Ibanez. I was able to capture the game-tying home run on video from the left field bleachers. You can hear the fans second-guessing Joe Girardi’s decision to bench Alex Rodriguez. Their second-guessing changed with just one pitch.
Sadly though, my phone died as I was trying to record Ibanez’s game-winning home run in the bottom of the 12th. Ibanez also knocked that one out of the park on the first pitch.

Even though Yankee Stadium is only my favorite New York ballpark, this video kind of makes me miss the ridiculousness that goes on in the bleachers. Target Field is too tame for my taste. This’ll probably end up being a “be careful what you wish for scenario.
