Where does Foulke's ALCS game 4 performance rank among the all-time best relief appearances in Red Sox history? B-Ref:

2.2 innings. 10 batters faced. No hits. Three strikeouts. 50 pitches thrown. Every single one of them seemed do-or-die.
The short list of worthy performances has to include Pedro in '99 ALDS Game 5, Lowe in '03 ALDS Game 5, Foulke in Game 5... and that's it, right? I had honestly forgotten Johnny from Burger King until reading this thread. The boos (and the staff anchored by Matt Clement, and G38 the reliever) really does seem like it was 10 years ago. And yet, I don't think I'll ever forget what #29 did in the 2004 postseason.
I have nothing constructive to add to this post, I just wanted to express unabashed love for Keith Foulke. Welcome back.
