Summary
Boston Red Sox 3, Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim 2
Ortiz' game ending blast off Angels reliever Scott Shields prompted John W. Henry and Larry Lucchino to bestow on Big Papi the highest honor a baseball player could ask for. A placque commemorating Ortiz' uncanny ability to deliver in the clutch was awarded to David with "The Greatest Clutch Hitter in the History of the Boston Red Sox" engraved on it. Less than a week later, Ortiz' two homeruns in Toronto were the deciding factor, with the second leading off the 11th inning to provide the winning margin
