On May 12, 2004, Alex Cora had the best at bat I or any other have seen in this game. While not the longest pitch count ever in an at bat, 18 is still ridiculous.
Facing the Cubs and their starter Matt Clement, Alex got out to a 2-1 count and then proceeded to foul off 14 consecutive pitches.
What on earth could have happened on that 18th pitch:
The 18th Pitch
No wonder he's smiling!
As a Cubs fan I remember how mad I was that he of all people did that but looking back it was such a great moment to witness.
Here's the abridged pitch by pitch recount narrated by Mr. Vin Scully:
I can't wait for baseball!
On a side note, sorry for the lack of posting but health has been up and down and hopefully it will be getting back to normal for me.
