John Sterling with the calls (you can see/listen to them here):
"And the pitch swung on and DRILLED to deep right! It is high, it is far, it is GONE into the Yankees bullpen! He's tied it up! AH! Johnny Damon hits a bullet, it's a Johnny Rocket, a line drive home run into the Yankees bullpen, we're all tied at 2!"
(moments later...)
"Breaking ball HIT IN THE AIR TO DEEP RIGHT! That ball is high, it is far, it is gone!!! AHHH!!! Mark Teixeira sends a TEX message into the right field seats --------Mark Teixeira!!! And Teixeira and Damon go back-to-back and a belly-to-belly, and the Yankees take an 8th inning 3-2 lead!!!"

The Yankees now have a 6.5 game lead in the AL East. They have swept the Red Sox again in a pivotal August series, not unlike what they accomplished in 2006. And it was made all the sweeter by the dominant pitching performances, the clutch hitting and dramatic home runs from the team's biggest stars, and from the memorable final game that put to rest all doubt that the Yankees are the better team, and the better organization. End of discussion.
Maybe the series was won the minute Muhammed Ali rode onto the field in a golf cart to be honored for something or other. The fact is that Ali would never appear in Fenway park. He came to NY because that where champions go. To NY, to Yankee stadium, to baseball's throne.

And here are some additional clips from the last game; Pettitte's fine start and a great contrast of captains: Jeter in the field and Varitek at the plate.
