BOSTON -- When he stepped back to think about it for a moment, Rays first baseman Carlos Pena couldn't believe what he'd just seen.

"This has to go down as one of the most incredible games in ALCS history. Has to. Has to. Obviously, I wish I was on the winning end, but let's be objective about it, that was unbelievable game, it really was," Pena said.

He agreed that it would rank up there with one of the most famous games played at Fenway: Game six of the 1975 World Series, where Carlton Fisk famously "willed" his home run to stay fair.

"That's one of the craziest games I've been involved in -- and for them, to come out on top, I can only imagine how much fun it was for them," Pena said.
