#1. October 11, 2009: ALDS Game 3 (Angels v Red Sox) In 2009, for the fourth time in six years, the Angels were matched up against the Boston Red Sox in the ALDS. Many things had transpired in the 5 years and 3 days since the 2004 ALDS ended. The Red Sox won the World Series twice and the Anaheim Angels became the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. Also, the Angels, having won Games 1 and 2 in Anaheim, had a chance to finally vanquish the BoSox in the playoffs. The Angels entered the top of the 9th in Game 3 down 6-4 with Boston's closer Jonathan Papelbon on the mound. The Red Sox closer got two outs on the first two batters and had an 0-2 count on Eric Aybar. The Angels shortstop, however, managed a single to center field. After a 7-pitch walk to Chone Figgins, Bobby Abreu delivered a run-scoring double. With runners on 2nd and 3rd, Torii Hunter was intentionally walked, loading the bases for Vladimir Guerrero. Papelbon, who had entered the game in the 8th inning, had already thrown 31 pitches. Guerrero, a career .363 hitter when hitting the first pitch, didn't wait beyond #32. Vladdy promptly swatted a first pitch 95 mile per hour fastball into center field for a 2-run, go ahead single. The Angels' 3-game sweep of the BoSox was sweet revenge over the team that had eliminated them in the ALDS matchups of '04, '07 and '08.
