Ever wonder what might be the ultimate baseball road trip? How about the 2007 World Champion Boston Red Sox opening the season in Japan with Daisuke Matsuzaka on the mound? Well it happened and if you were there, you witnessed a piece of Red Sox history.
And while things didn't look perfect for citizens of Red Sox Nation as Boston trailed 4-3 in the 9th inning, it didn't take long for a little magic to surface as rookie Brandon Moss hit a game-tying home run. Manny Ramirez added a two-run double in the 10th inning and Hideki Okajima registered the win while Jonathan Papelbon notched the save.
As Red Sox fans exited the Tokyo Dome, they were treated to "Sweet Caroline" blasting from the ballpark's speakers. Yes, the 2008 season opened with as much fanfare as the 2007 season ended. If you were fortunate to be there, let our Ticket Frame capture the memory forever.
