Red Sox beating the Yankees 9-0 in the sixth and then they lose? Yeah, April 18, 1950.

Meanwhile, state Sen. Benjamin Dowling of Pittsfield tweets:

Currently drafting legislation to make it illegal to play Sweet Caroline at Fenway Park when the home team has blown 9 run lead.

"This is a tough loss, a really tough loss. You expect to take one like this to the bank. It's just one game. How many times is this going to happen? Maybe once every 100 years?"
--Marty Barrett, red sox 2nd baseman after Roger Clemmons gave up 11 runs in the 3rd inning as the red sox blew a 9 run lead and lost to the Yankees 12-11 on June 26, 1987.
