It was a warm October night in Arlington, TX on October 10, 2011 when Nelson Cruz stepped up to the plate in the 11th-inning of Game 2 of the ALCS. Two-minutes later on a 1-2 count, the Texas Rangers outfielder hit one of the biggest home runs in franchise history — a walk-off grand slam off of Detroit Tigers reliever Ryan Perry to give his team a 2-0 lead in the series.
