Flair for the dramatic: Red Sox reclaim first place in insane fashion
BOSTON -- Amid the euphoria and the sheer delirium, Christian Vazquez stood with his back to the Boston Red Sox dugout, arms in the air, just bathing it all in.
And then came the bath.
Xander Bogaerts sneaked back onto the field and dumped a bucket of red Gatorade on Vazquez, who moments earlier had crushed a walk-off three-run home run to almost straightaway center field. It was quite likely the hardest ball the Boston catcher has ever hit, and it ended probably the strangest game you will see all season, a 12-10 Red Sox victory over the Cleveland Indians.
"This was a PlayStation game, you know?" Bogaerts said. "You keep bouncing back and forth. It was like PlayStation."
