Walkoff! to Victory March

For as many times as my neighbors furrow a brow to the "walkoff" chant that starts in the ninth inning of every New York home game down in the run column, nothing brings an easier smile than the "victory march" from door to door when the chant pays off. Down one run with two outs in the ninth and the bases loaded, Alex Rodriguez made the victory march even sweeter with a two strike swing that saw his second homerun of the game charge over the center field wall and fade into the black.
