Episode description: October 25, 2003 -- It took Josh Beckett no time at all to prove his manager right. Pitching on three days' rest, it took Beckett 107 pitches to quiet the naysayers, carry the Marlins to a World Series title and garner Most Valuable Player honors for his effort. Beckett threw the first complete-game shutout in a deciding World Series game in 12 years, beating the New York Yankees, 2-0, to send the home team to its first postseason series loss at Yankee Stadium in 22 years. Beckett was brilliant in two World Series starts. In Game 3 on Oct. 21, he allowed two runs on three hits over 7 1/3 innings and lost. But on Saturday, with it all on the line, he scattered five hits and retired 11 of the final 13 batters he faced. He even recorded the last out, tagging Jorge Posada on a weak chopper down the first-base line. The shutout was the 19th in a World Series-deciding game. Beckett's 47 strikeouts in the postseason tied Randy Johnson (2001) for the all-time record in a single postseason.
