Goodbye, Keith, and Thanks

Former Red Sox closer and the man who was on the mound for the Red Sox' first World Championship in 86 years Keith Foulke has hung up his spikes. I suspect that a large reason he has been hurting the past two seasons is because he gave the Red Sox everything he had in the 2004 postseason. Whether or not that's the case, I will remember him catching Edgar Renteria's groundout to close out the 2004 world classic. Thanks for your hard work, Keith, and good luck with life beyond baseball.

Update: My report on game four, and my reaction the Sox' World Championship.

I was watching game 4 of the 2004 series in the basement section of a sh*tty bar in DC with my wife when, upon the Red Sox getting the second out of the bottom of the 9th, I thought to myself "holy sh*t, they might win" -- I thought if I said it out loud I would jinx them.

I will remember him catching Edgar Renteria's groundout to close out the 2004 world classic.

This also seemed to me to be the only time I ever remember a pitcher double-clutching an underhanded throw to first.
