Leskanic, you sonofabitch!

Not much is said about Curtis Leskanic, who is one of the main reasons the Red Sox did what they did in the 2004 ALCS. He's probably more remembered for the line Johnny Pesky exclaimed about him during the Ring Ceremony in 2005 or for the whole thing in Damon's crap book about him "rolling around naked". Here's a guy about 36 years old, with his career basically at a crossroads and his shoulder a piece of crapola. He was rocked the night before and now there were two outs in the top of the 11th inning with the bases loaded and Bernie Williams at the bat. The bullpen is pretty dead so they send in Leskanic, their last hope basically. So what does Leskanic do? Oh nothing really, except he induces a fly ball out from Bernie and goes one more inning, ultimately picking up the win in Game 4 of the ALCS, the starting point of The Greatest Comeback in Baseball(maybe Sports) History. I mean some people have recognized it. But not enough. Anyways that was his last outing of his career, and man oh man, what a way to go out. Oh and that quote? He did actually say that.
