A Most Improbable Win.


I don't know which win was the least likely -- a down by two, two-out, two-run home run off of Mariano Rivera, a recovery from a six run deficit against AJ Burnett, or a steal of home* and the continuation of a ten game winning steak (the odds of winning this game were 1 in 1024, assuming that each team had an equal likelihood of winning the game) -- but it doesn't get much better than that.


*My sister, who doesn't watch a lot of baseball, totally called it in the third inning. Ellsbury was on third and she turned to me and said: "He's really far off the base. Well, it's not like he's going anywhere."
