 BOSTON (AP) - Alex Rodriguez heard the jeers of the fans, then shut them up. Mocked all weekend by the Red Sox passionate backers, A-Rod hit a tiebreaking home run in the ninth inning against the star closer for the Yankees' biggest rival.
"I heard some, but it's always in good fun," he said after his solo shot through the rain off Jonathan Papelbon gave New York a 6-5 win Sunday night and the rubber game of the series. "I think the Boston fan always has a lot of fun and I appreciate that. It's not a big deal."
Yankees manager Joe Torre thinks it may have been a bigger deal than Rodriguez let on.
