Box Score of the Week

It's never too early to feature a Yankees-Red Sox game.

Let's check out their matchup from April 29, 2016.

--------------------------------------

David Ortiz hit a two-run homer in the bottom of the 8th inning to break a 2-2 tie, leading to a Red Sox win. That was not at all unusual for "Big Papi" to come through in the clutch. But what was special about this home run was that he promised six-year old Ortiz super fan Maverick Schutte, who was battling a rare heart defect, that he would hit a home run in his honor.

And yes, Maverick did get to meet his idol in person a couple of weeks later.
