Some say that one of the keys to victory is to strike early and often. Never was that more evident than when the Boston Red Sox obliterated the Florida Marlins by piling up 14 runs in the first inning, essentially putting the game away in the opening frame.
It was June 27, 2003 and the Red Sox were about halfway through a 95-win season that would result in a Wild Card spot. That year would end with heartbreak when Aaron Boone‘s walk-off home run in Game 7 of the ALCS sent the Yankees to the World Series but this mid-season game against the Marlins serves as a reminder of how dangerous that Red Sox lineup was capable of being.
