Ibanez Almost the Hero Again

Just three nights after hitting the game tying and game winning home runs against the Orioles in Game 3 of the ALDS, Raul Ibanez plays the hero again at Yankee Stadium by tying Game 1 of the ALCS in the bottom of the ninth inning with this two-run home run:

The Yankees went into the ninth down 4-0 before Tigers closer Jose Valverde imploded again. Unfortunately for Ibanez and New York, the Tigers went on to take Game 1, 6-4, in 12 innings.
