Robert Andino’s walk-off hit was 12 years ago today

On September 28, 2011 Orioles player Robert Andino got a hit off Red Sox closer Jon Papelbon which won the game and prevented the Red Sox from making the playoffs. I linked to a tweet with video.

That winter, I went to the Orioles FanFest and got Andino’s autograph. After that, I heard one fan tell another “I tried to get him to sign it ‘Suck it Pap’ but he wouldn’t”.
