This was Scott Proctor's last ever pitch in the major leagues. He went out by eliminating the Red Sox. For that, he should go down in Yankee lore forever. (I'm not a Yankee fan)
AnEternalEnigma your a moron, they didn’t lose on purpose; most asinine thing ever! Can’t except a loss, or a simple conspiracy theorist. ?!No proof number one, number two, they wouldn’t blow a win to prevent another team (rival or not) to enter the postseason, that’s the most ridiculous, stupid, asinine, dumb comment.
The very next year Scott Proctor moved to Doosan Bears, a KBO(Korea Baseball Organization) team for a new opportunity. His 35saves(Ranked 2nd) led the team to the postseason. Unfortunately, in Semi-Playoff Game4 he became Bears' last pitcher of the whole season giving Lotte Giants winning run in bottom of the 10th(Giants were leading the series 2-1) just like this video.
What made this such an incredible night for baseball was that it was like the gods were controlling it. Everything from the delay of game to extra innings that lined up the endings of both games perfectly.The Rays only Franchise player ever getting the winning HR. I mean even the winning run for the orioles came off Carl Crawford's glove ( a career Ray until this very year). It will probably go down as one of the greatest endings any sport will ever have. Not to mention the Cardinals comeback in September was equally as incredible as the Rays comeback and they ended up winning the world series in an amazing fashion as well.
This was craziest night in baseball. Definitely a God intervention and miracle all in one night. Red Sox were about close the game and head to the playoffs. Rays were one strike away from packing their bags. Then, the Rays tied the game. Red Sox blew their lead and lost. And Rays came all the way back from a 7 run deficit to head to the playoffs. Insane
Same with the Cardinals and Braves. Braves choked a 9th inning lead and Carpenter pitched a shutout to lead the cards into their inevitable World Series run.
As a Yankee fan, I was rooting against my own team for those 3 games because we didn’t have to win anymore games, having already clinched the #1 seed in the AL and the 2nd best record in baseball to only the Phillies, while the Rays were battling to beat out the Red Sox for that wild card spot in the AL and I dislike the Red Sox and Phillies the most in baseball and both equally.
+Mark Conner I'm not saying they are underrated but they came back from 9 of 10 seasons in last to 2008 and then all the success it is amazing but now, yeah we suck
And, almost 8 years to the day, Nate Lowe (another third baseman) hits a 2-run walk-off HR to the EXACT SAME SPOT to give Tampa Bay a 1-game AL Wild Card lead.
This was hands down one of the best moments in sports - ever. What makes it so awesome, is that the outcome was so improbable ... they Rays have some serious magic when things get clicking ... this night was amazing!
2:00 I love how the camera pans to the crew getting the locker room ready for celebration. You know those guys were stunned that they were really putting up the plastic that point in the night
Still, almost 2 years later I cannot believe this happened. You have to appreciate the Rays' tenacity, they never gave up even when the odds were stacked against them. They have a habit of playing the underdog come September, and hopefully this year they can hoist the commissioner's trophy. I will be rooting for the Rays since my team (the White Sox) are having a horribly disastrous season. Go Rays!
God...I don't know why I'm watching this. As a die-hard Red Sox fan, I cried myself to sleep that night. I was 11. So many questions. How could Papelbon blow the save? HOW COULD THE YANKEES BLOW A 7-0 LEAD(I refuse to believe anything other than they lost on purpose to this day)? How could THAT line drive ever be a home run? It's like they designed the very edge of fair territory to have a lower wall specifically for that ball to be a HR. It didn't look like it ever cleared 20 ft.
Other than the red sox winning 4 straight in the 2004 alcs against the yankees, I haven't seen this much magic and pure epicness in any sport game. Unbelievable
I'm a Rays fan and live in New Hampshire and must I say the Red Sox are one of the most hypocritical fan bases I've ever been around. They say the Yankees buy out players, so do the Red Sox!! I hate the Red Sox the most of any team in the MLB. Yes they've been successful but because they can buy amazing players. The Yankee and Red Sox should ALWAYS be in the World Series but the Rays with a low payroll can compete!!! I'm happy to be a fan of a truly small market team. Red Sox are NOT small market. I like the Yankees much better than the Red Sox.
Red Sox fans need to realize they are the Yankees now their curse is over they're no longer the lovable losers they won in 04 07 and 13 idk if that's a dynasty but that's pretty close, but they are what they hate they're just a Boston version of the Yankees. Also I'm not a fan of either team just what I think
The Red Sox spend money we don't deny that but they don't just spend money like the Yankees they actually draft and develop players and don't always trade away their prospects unlike the Yankees
I'm a jays fan and it's the offseason where we decide if we become a big market team or we don't re sign anyone and suck and remain a small market team.
ThomasWoodenTrains1 actually that's more like a 5 foot fence lol. I've been on the field right near that area when there was a baseball camp there and I was about as tall as it
12 years, two championships, three ALCS appearances, and four AL East crowns, and this night STILL makes me want to puke. The silver lining is that I’ve gotten to see the Red Sox eliminate both the Yankees and the Rays twice each since then. One each happened in the same season.
Im a passionate Yankees fan and im wasnt pissed that this happend in fact i was kinda happy cause the Red Sox blew a lead that could make their buds the 2010 Bruims laugh. And we knew we were going to the postseason
I'm a Braves fan and coming back to watch this incredible 2011 Day 162 stuff still stings for the obvious reasons. But seriously, LOL at all the "fans" who left in the 7th inning. The Trop is half empty when the Rays win. I hope they still feel like shit.
I was rooting for rays 2 win bcuz i wanted red sox out. I watched this game till the very end. Great game. Sadly they lost to cardinals another great club that was doing well also.
For the 12,000 in attendance im sure that was a huge moment, it's just a shame that a moment like that didn't occur in a town that actually cares about baseball. That would have blown the the stadium up in over 2 dozen cities but nothing in tampa. Shows what a sports city they have.
Did you watch super bowl 55? Tampa is built on sports we just dont like baseball as much as hockey or football because tropicana field sucks and is way too far away lmao
Same with the 2021 stanley cup that place blew up like crazy, tampa is literally only a sports city, it is known for nothing else, baseball is just not as meaningful to us as the others
as a rays fan... i will never forget this moment
Greatest baseball game, month of games, and hit I'll probably ever see
The CZcams Rays I still get chills. Just listen to the crowd explode once it clears the wall!
If you are a Rays fan this moment made you cry and scream in joy.
As a Sox fan, I will also never forget this moment.
Dude you're a Rays fan AND a Union fan? There must be only 2 of us on the entire planet lmao I'm a fan of both the Rays and Union also XD
This was Scott Proctor's last ever pitch in the major leagues. He went out by eliminating the Red Sox. For that, he should go down in Yankee lore forever. (I'm not a Yankee fan)
3 years later, but Girardi was without a doubt on orders from the FO to tank this game so Boston could get bounced.

As A Ray's Fan, This Is Why I've Always Had A Soft Spot For The Orioles Lol
The Greatest Night in Baseball history.
+Michael Horvat true dat
Not even close lol. Rays made the playoffs here just to get ousted in the 1st round.

And he was the one that suggested making the left field wall shorter
He caused his own demise.

@@imPiddle why do people talk about the Sox choking more than the Braves?
The Red Sox deserved to make the playoffs. This was all a mess.
@@IWantToMature85 Because the Red Sox had more of a lead then the Braves did. Especially in the Al east.
I'm not a rays fan or a Cardinals fan but this year or at least the last two months of it were some of the best baseball has ever had
You're talking about 2011, right?
Alec yes
Alec I bet u forgot u commented this
2011 was the best year in baseball that I have ever seen
seriously !
Rays are the most underrated team in baseball history.
You are dumb. The Rays are amazing. And they aren't called the devil Rays anymore
***** no.... they dont.
+Mark Conner I'm not saying they are underrated but they came back from 9 of 10 seasons in last to 2008 and then all the success it is amazing but now, yeah we suck
+The Great Charcoal He just hate July. That's all
Ok my first reply wasn't aimed at Jackson. Whoever I replied to deleted their comment
The shot heard round the gulf.
i will never forget that night... i cried when we won this game. Rays were down 7-0!! it seemed hopeless. We will miss you, Evan
The best baseball game I've ever been to in my life. The energy in that place was electrifying. Take me back! 😩
And, almost 8 years to the day, Nate Lowe (another third baseman) hits a 2-run walk-off HR to the EXACT SAME SPOT to give Tampa Bay a 1-game AL Wild Card lead.
Yessuh😫
Coincidently against the Red Sox as well (who in 2011 got eliminated from the post season thanks to the 2011 home run)
This was hands down one of the best moments in sports - ever. What makes it so awesome, is that the outcome was so improbable ... they Rays have some serious magic when things get clicking ... this night was amazing!
Thank you for the memories Longo!
Thank you, Longo, for making your magic for the Rays on this night and so many others. You will always be a Ray to me.
Still today the Greatest moment in Rays history. Even 4 World Series Games and many playoff games at The Trop cannot top this moment
Still gives me chills to this day
Until the Rays win a world series, this will be the best night in Tampa Bay baseball history.
I’ll never forget this as a lifelong Rays fan
What’s with the profile pic then? Lol
@@zachjohnson9859 lol
Lol “lifelong”

Simply put, the greatest night ever in MLB.
Who’s here after the rays just made the ALCS
Who's here after Brett Phillips
@@YirbyBond00Y me, Lest GO RAYS!!? ⚾🔵
This was the best day in mlb, for me.
rays always seem to do something magical every year. because the al east is bipolar this year rays could pull off another comeback season :)
sorry, didn't happen
This squad man ❤️ will never forget
Stadium crew panicking getting the everything set up before the players storm the area! What a difference 5 minutes makes!

shut up please
fun fact: it was the former Ray; Carl Crawford, left fielder for the Red Sox in 2011, suggest that the walls be shortened to that height.
+J Pelfrey OMG the irony!!!
Karma's a bitch ain't it.
I was 19 and I cried as well! I know the feeling.
2020 ( damn 9 years already 😫) and my sis just send me this. We were there that night and it was unforgettable 🙆♂️
As a Yankee Fan, I always respect for Talent Players. Rays and Orioles had a miracle night.
This is the best moment I have ever seen in our history and in all of baseball. Let's do it again this year!! Go Rays!!
15 years later … he’s still getting clutch hits in the Playoffs 🤘🏻
Other than the red sox winning 4 straight in the 2004 alcs against the yankees, I haven't seen this much magic and pure epicness in any sport game. Unbelievable

how was this 6 years ago... i remember this like it was yesterday. What a day
13 now
This is the definition of coming in clutch
7 ft high fence and hit 315 that's a double anywhere else
Well gives the term "home field advantage" a new meaning doesn't it?
+ThomasWoodenTrains1 That's an upper deck shot at right field Yankee Stadium
True true

Pensky pole. Short porch in RF at Yankee Stadium. Love quirky park dimensions.

You know what would've made this even more epic? If as the ball left the yard, his walk-up song played?
As a redsox fan I will never forget this moment..
Not a rays fan really, but i can feel the specialness.
greatest comeback in the history of mlb
10 years ago today, wow!!!
Greatest moment for the Rays of the 2010s.
I remember watching that live, I miss those Rays teams
after the Spurlock KO return for Td that same year,the second historic play in the history of Tampa Bay pro sports...
One of the greatest days in baseball history
Ray's 2016. Let's have some more!
Rip the rays 2016 last place.
Moment of silence, please.
+king cat Unless the Yankees become the worst team ever at the end of this season

Im a passionate Yankees fan and im wasnt pissed that this happend in fact i was kinda happy cause the Red Sox blew a lead that could make their buds the 2010 Bruims laugh. And we knew we were going to the postseason
thank you RAYS! RJ
It’s weird seeing fans at Tropicana Field😂😂
Credit the guy that cut the wall down to accommodate the tv cameras
Till this day this surprised me, yankees had a big lead in that game & blew it...
I was like 1 but I wish I was older to experience this
I’ll never forget, as a rays fan
I cry at thinking Longoria won’t retire as a ray after this moment….Tampa fan and resident since 95…..
Why wouldn’t he retire as a ray he’s been with him almost his whole career
I think the Rays will win the wild card game this year
Best Moment in Baseball for the Rays!
I remember almost turning this game off.
same here
Yankees put in the triple A team 😂👍. They let the Ray's win
The best day of MLB history
Really, though. Who made that outfield wall.
Carl Crawford (who played for the rays when the outfield wall was created but moved to Red Sox during this season)
The greatest day in baseball history
Best rays moment ever

I'm a huge Yankees fan, but I didn't care that we lost this game. We'd locked up the top spot in the AL already, and by losing, we knocked off Boston.
Best game ever. I was there.
😭😭😭😭😭 Broke my heart…led to the idiot front office firing Tito Francona and hiring the goof Bobby Valentine in 2012 😤
the Rays will be back next year.
I think the Yankees just lost on purpose to keep Boston out of the playoffs.
Most likely this was a meaningless game for them and that's why they didn't bring in Mo when it was getting bad in the 8th
Umm please shut up. The Rays and Yankees are rivalries too. Have you been to a Yankees Rays game?
+The Kinetic Kid the Rays consider themselves rivals with the Yankees, Yankee fans do not. Tampa fans have a hate for New Yorkers
