Sox shake ghost of seasons’ past
For the first time in 12
years, the Boston Red Sox
get a postseason win
By Tom Withers
The Associated Press
CLEVELAND — The last
Boston Red Sox first baseman to
make such a splash in the post
season did so by letting a ball roll
through his legs.
Mo Vaughn’s only connection
with Bill Buckner is that they
both play the same position.
What separated the two Tuesday
was something Boston fans have
been waiting 12 tortuous years to
see — a postseason win by the
Red Sox.
Vaughn homered twice and
tied a record with seven RBls as
Boston halted a 13-game postsea
son losing streak that began with
Buckner’s infamous error, beat
ing Cleveland 11-3 in their AL
DUCKS WIN!

playoff opener.
Nomar Garciaparra hit a three
run homer, and Pedro Martinez
pitched seven innings as Boston
ended a slide that began on Oct.
25,1986, when Mookie Wilson’s
grounder to first skipped past
Buckner at Shea Stadium in the
World Series.
That forced a Game 7 the Red
Sox lost, and Boston — which
hasn’t won the Series since 1918
— was swept by Oakland in 1988
and ’90, and then by Cleveland
in 1995.
Those failures had weighed
heavily on the Red Sox and espe
cially on Vaughn, who went 0
for-14 with seven strikeouts in
his only previous playoff experi
ence in '95.
It was nice to get ott a lot ot
things,” Vaughn said, We did
all right, man. We did a lot of
things individually and as a
team. It was nice to get it done to
day.”
This year’s Red Sox insist the
past is just that, and they’re not
cursed by Babe Ruth’s ghost or
any other demons. And with
Boston’s trio of stars doing most
of the damage, the Red Sox made
the Indians and 45,815 fans at Ja
cobs Field believers.
“I didn’t even know we had
one,” Garciaparra said of the los
ing streak. “You’re asking the
wrong guy.”
Mike Stanley, in his second
stint with the Red Sox, knows
there’s no sense denying what
happened.
“Even though you weren’t
here, you know,” Stanley said.
“You’re still cognizant of what
the record is in postseason and
what Mo’s done. You can’t help
but notice.”
