For most of the late 2000’s and early 2010’s, he was one of Major League Baseball’s most reliable starting pitchers. After getting his first full-time starting job with the Boston Red Sox in 2004 and tossing 178.2 innings that year, he logged 200 or more innings every year through 2013, with the exception of 2009, when he pitched “Just” 199 innings. In that time span (2004-2013), no right-hander in baseball pitched more innings. In those years he complied a win-loss record of 129-113 and struck out 1,354. Opponents batted just .262 off of the righty, and hit for just a 98 OPS+.
His most famous moment came in Game 6 of the 2004 ALDS. After Curt Schilling’s epic “bloody sock” start, he came on in relief. The moment, now famously known as The slap” occurred when Yankee Alex Rodriguez hit a bouncer back that Bronson fielded.
When he went to apply the tag, Rodriguez (ahem) slapped at his glove containing the ball in an effort to dislodge it. After further review, Rodriguez was called OUT, Jeter, who had scored, was sent back to second base and the Red Sox went on to win Game six. The following day, they would bomb those Yanks 10-3, silencing 50,00 plus in da Bronx thus completing the Greatest Comeback Ever in winning Game 7 moving on to the ALCS & sending the yankees packing.
In addition to being an excellent pitcher, our January guest, Bronson Arroyo is also an accomplished guitarist and singer.
We are most excited to have him join us on Thursday, January 19th right here at Seabreeze. Though we have not received confirmation on whether or not he will bring his guitar, we have put the request in with the Red Sox.
