Previous Question Answer: The double-earflap legend Jed Lowrie was the last shortstop to hit a walk-off, crushing a game-winning homer on August 21, 2010. Sources have informed me that Lowrie was indeed playing first base in that game, so that makes Alex Gonzalez the last true Red Sox SS to hit a walk-off on September 16th, 2009!

Now, a word from our sponsor:
Filmed throughout the 2011 season, KNUCKLEBALL follows 37 year-old all-star R.A. Dickey of the New York Mets and 18-year veteran Tim Wakefield, formerly the oldest player in the major leagues and an icon of the Boston Red Sox. The film details their personal and professional struggles and triumphs while exploring the bond between them and the few living retired knuckleballers, including Charlie Hough, Wilbur Wood, Jim Bouton, Tom Candiotti and Hall of Famer Phil Niekro. KNUCKLEBALL is the story of these extraordinary men, and the sacrifices they have made to a pitch that would come to define their careers and reputations. You can see the DVD here.
