13. Grady Little Leaves Pedro Martinez In
Five outs from reaching the World Series in 2003, Boston Red Sox manager Grady Little went to the mound with the intention of pulling exhausted starter Pedro Martinez following three consecutive hits. Now a Hall of Famer, Pedro talked his manager out of it, and the next batter Jorge Posada tied the game at five with a two-run double. In the 11th, Aaron Boone’s historic walk-off sent the Yankees past Boston, who hadn’t won a World Series in 85 years.
