ALCS Roadtrip!!!

In October 2003, one of the more classic roadtrips of my life popped up. There wasn't anything extraordinary about driving to New York City from Athens, Ohio, but three things made this roadtrip extraordinary.

a) It was spontaneous.
b) We didn't "stay" in New York. We drove there for a purpose, turned around, and came straight back
c) It was for Game 2 of the 2003 American League Championship Series: Red Sox at Yankees!

The pregame hype was out of control for a high-stakes renewal of one of sports' greatest rivalries.

It was by far the most intense baseball game I've ever seen. The Yankees beat Boston 6-2, and went on to play in the World Series thanks to a walkoff homer in Game 7 one week later off the bat of Aaron Boone.
