Notes & reviews
- start of game delayed so FOX TV could do their pregame show and run football scores after the NL game
- the ball left the park and landed on Landsdowne Street; a few seconds later the came sailing back into CF where Johnny Damon picked it up and threw it back over the wall onto the street; the ball came back in one more time and 2B umpire Joe West pocketed it to end the game of catch between Damon and the fans on the Street
- second game ending HR for David Ortiz in 2004 post-season
