ALCS Celebration: Working It Out For 9

My second batch of video goodies contains a couple of videos of the in-game action. Namely, that magical ninth inning that clinched the American League pennant for the Sox, behind some nasty pitching by Papelbon and one spectacularly wicked catch in center field by Coco Crisp. I’m glad to see Papi was fully prepared in advance, and had his champagne-shielding goggles on before the game was even over. And that Papelbon jump-scream-squat-holler-point-grab-bearhug needs to be patented, because it was glorious.

This second video is a short but cool one: the Boston Globe once again set up a time-lapse camera at the Fens, this time to catch all the action of Game 7 from a birds-eye view. Genius.

I am SO GLAD you posted these (as usual)…my favorite moment of the whole night (you can see it above) was after the first out in the 9th—the camera panned over to the Boston dugout for just a second, and you could see all the guys just grinning their heads off, not jumping around or anything, just taking a moment to bask. Beautiful.
