Nothing super historic but a few record breakers and especially memorable games (all at Fenway):
June 14, 2003: Red Sox vs. Astros. Freddy Sanchez records 10 assists at third base (one shy of the record). Sox win 8–4.
June 27, 2003: Red Sox vs. Marlins. Red Sox score 10 runs before the first out is recorded (setting a record). Johnny Damon tallies three hits in a single inning (tying a record, only done once before in the modern era). Marlins RP Kevin Olsen gets hit in the face with a line drive and is down for ten minutes before being carried away on a stretcher (based on what I can find he was OK, though never really pitched again). David Ortiz gets plunked at the end of the game, Red Sox pitcher throws behind one of the Marlins batters and benches clear but no punches are thrown. Sox in 25–8. Red Sox legend Byung-Hyun Kim gets the win.
October 6, 2008: Red Sox vs. Angels, Game 4 of the ALDS. Pitching matchup was John Lester against John Lackey, both threw gems. Jed Lowrie hits a walk-off single to clinch and advance to the ALCS. This is probably my favorite of all the games I've been to.
