Default Confessions of a first time Yankee rooter
Posted By: Kevin Cummings

After Sosa's overreaction to Beckett's high, hard one, Beckett was not only unintimidated, but defiant.

He made seven total pitches after that, one of them hitting triple-digits on the JUGS gun and two others missing by only one mile per hour. All other Cub batters after that got fastballs from "only" 92 to 96 miles per hour.

The next time Sosa came up, his fastballs were from 94 to 98 miles per hour! Beckett was playing with Sammy! I loved it!
