LOWELL, Mass. (AP) - The Lowell Spinners don't have a first baseman. They do, however, have a fairly famous first base.
The Class A affiliate of the Boston Red Sox has bought on the memorabilia market — and plans to use for the upcoming New York-Penn League season — the first base that was at Yankee Stadium for Game 6 of the 2004 AL championship series.
In that game, Alex Rodriguez was called for interference after slapping the ball away from Boston pitcher Bronson Arroyo in a key play at first. The Red Sox went on to win the ALCS in seven games and swept the St. Louis Cardinals in the World Series to end an 86-year championship drought.
