		Yaz won the American League Triple Crown and put on one of the greatest displays of hitting down the stretch in baseball history.
		Game 6 of the World Series, against the Cincinnati Reds' so-called "Big Red Machine," is regarded by some as the greatest game in baseball postseason history, an extra-inning piece of drama featuring dramatic home runs by Bernie Carbo and Fisk (the latter the game-winner).
		They then faced the Yankees in the 2003 American League Championship Series, and had a 5-2 lead over the Yankees in the 8th inning of game 7, but collapsed to lose the game 6-5 in 11 innings, and Red Sox players and fans were left disappointed once again.

		Major League Baseball's marketing division attempted to restore the fan's faith in the All-Star Game and make amends for the 2002 debacle that had ended in a 7-7 tie after both leagues ran out of available pitchers.
		To add more meaning to the fledgling exhibition, the 2003 Midsummer Classic slogan read "This Time It Counts" and for the first time in professional baseball history, home-field advantage in the World Series would be granted to the winner.
		However, despite winning 7-6, the American League later proved that home-field advantage was overrated after the Florida Marlins toppled the New York Yankees in Game 6 of the World Series at Yankee Stadium.
