2008 – Opening Day in Major League Baseball is held in the Tokyo Dome. The game was put in doubt earlier in the month when the Red Sox planned to “strike” due to disagreements with MLB over payment for coaches who make the trip. Daisuke Matsuzaka battles control problems, walking five, and allows two runs in five innings in a homecoming of sorts. In the 6th inning, Manny Ramirez hits a two-run double off Joe Blanton to tie the score and Brandon Moss singles him in for the lead. Oakland retakes the lead, 4 – 3, entering the 9th. Moss then delivers more heroics with one out in the 9th, homering off A’s closer Huston Street to tie the score. Hideki Okajima tosses a scoreless bottom of the inning for the win. In the 10th, Ramirez hits a two-run, two-out double off Street for a 6 – 4 lead. Oakland scores once off Jonathan Papelbon in the 10th, but he hangs on for the save.

Upon being informed of the league’s decision, Teddy delivers this heartfelt apology: “I’m sorry I did it. I was so mad at the park that I lost my temper and afterward I was sorry about it. I’m principally sorry about losing the $250.”
