| Chili Just Before Going Yard Off Pedro |
New Red Sox hitting coach
Chili Davis reportedly turned down the Yankee hitting coach job to sign with The Carmine Hose. Score one for the ChiliMan! Moreover, Davis has
another solid Red Sox connection—he was formerly the hitting coach of AAA Pawtucket.
However, an even more obscure connection might not sit too well with the Fenway Faithful. On September 10, 1999, Davis collected the
only hit (a solo HR) off
Pedro Martinez in the pitcher's legendary complete-game, 17-strikeout win at the old Yankee Stadium. The pinstriped Davis will always be held accountable for the
only blemish that spelled the difference between a perfect game and a just amazing game. We
might forgive him. If he asks nicely.
