Epic Games in Blue Jays History: Overcoming a 10 Run Deficit
On Sunday, June 4, 1989 the Toronto Blue Jays staged one of the biggest comebacks in baseball history. It was the 3rd game of a 3 game set for the Jays at Fenway and they were looking to sweep this critical series. Down 10-0 after 6, the Jays scratched back to score 11 in the final 3 innings to send the game to extras. Junior Felix was the hero, hitting a 2 run shot in the top of the 12th. Duane Ward pitched the final 3 innings for the win. That’s just the Coles Notes version – for the real deal, watch and listen to the sultry tones of Tom Cheek recapping the game below.
