Damon steals second and third bases on one pitch

Damon steals second and third on one pitch.

The Yankees are one game away from winning their 27th World Championship. Last night’s game was a beauty as the Phillies battled back to tie the Yankees twice, first from an 2-0 early deficit and later from a 4-2 deficit but were never able to take the lead. This was not a typical Yankee victory because there were no homers hit, all the runs came on clutch hitting. The highlight of the game for me was Johnny Damon’s 9 pitch, 2 out at-bat struggle with Brad Lidge. He fouled the ball 5 times and managed to single to the opposite field. Next pitch he stoled 2nd and and 3rd on one pitch. The clutch hit of the game came two at-bats later and after Teixteira was hit by a pitch. Alex Rodriguez hit a double that bounced into the wall and Damon scored. To add insult to injury Posada came up right after and hit a single and added another run.
