Northern Exposure
These kids agree: Red Sox play of late has been hair-raising.
Portrait of a Red Sox Killer, Part 1: Frank Catalanotto
Portrait of a Red Sox Killer, Part 2: Vernon Wells
Alex Rios would lend a helping hand to a fellow Alex. The Toronto outfielder’s blunder in the bottom of the seventh allowed Alex Cora to hit the go-ahead home run.
Dan Roche, Bob Lobel, and an unknown assistant. The media were out in droves to cover the trade of David Wells.
Between takes, Sean McAdam entertained with stirring renditions of arias, including “La fleur que tu m’avais jetée” from “Carmen.”
Rest in peace, “Broadway” Charlie Wagner.
Curt Schilling was the backstop for the family that was displaced by Hurricane Katrina.
The inimitable Roy Halladay.
Carlos Peña attempting to run out a grounder.
Dustin Pedroia at the dish.
Manny Delcarmen pitched for two innings, blowing a save but notching a win. In the seventh he gave up a two-out triple to who else but Catalanotto, who in turn was driven in by Wells.
Mark Loretta fouling off a pitch.
Terry Francona had a short hook with Mike Timlin; after the reliever relinquished the second hard-hit single in the eighth he was pulled.
Jonathan Papelbon secured the final four outs of the game.
Victory at last.

hey, i was at this game, too! i took many similar pictures (although from the grandstand, so they didn't come out nearly as well--it looks like you had awesome seats). i especially love your portrait of catalonatto.

It was a great win and helped put them in a good position for the series.
Catalanotto is brutal, however. I just know everytime he is at bat he is going to do something to destroy us.
