"Third baseman Aaron Boone, most known for his 11th-inning walkoff homer in Game 7 of the 2003 American League Championship series against Tim Wakefield, told reporters this morning at the Astros camp that he will undergo open heart surgery soon to replace a damaged aortic valve in his heart. Boone was slated to be the Astros' starting third baseman. Boone was unsure of his future in baseball (Boston.com)."
Well he finally gave himself a heart attack (well no not really, but it sounds good). I still to this day have not seen that ball actually leave the ballpark. I saw Boone hit it, and then charged out of room, and went to bed. I hated him for almost a year. Basically until the Sox came back the next year from 3-0 to beat the Yankees. Anyways, I hope he is OK, but I never want to see him on a baseball field again.
