Josh Beckett
Joshua Patrick Beckett (born May 15, 1980) is a former American professional baseball pitcher. A three-time Major League Baseball (MLB) All-Star, he played for the Florida Marlins, Boston Red Sox, and the Los Angeles Dodgers. After a stellar high school career, where he was regarded as one of the top prospects in the country, he was drafted by the Marlins with the second pick in the 1999 MLB draft. He won the 2003 World Series with the Marlins and the 2007 World Series with the Red Sox, and received the 2007 American League Championship Most Valuable Player (MVP) award and the 2003 World Series MVP award. He was traded from the Marlins to the Red Sox in 2006 and from the Red Sox to the Dodgers in 2012, both as part of multi-player transactions. Beckett recovered from a serious injury that caused him to miss most of the 2013 season and pitched a no-hitter against the Philadelphia Phillies on May 25, 2014 for the Dodgers, becoming the 19th man to do so in Dodgers history. However, his season was again cut short due to an injury and he announced his retirement on October 7, 2014.

Red Sox ALCS: Josh Beckett recalls his own heroics ahead of Game 6

Former Red Sox ace Josh Beckett recalls his own Game 6 experience. The Red Sox are back in Houston with their backs against the wall, but that’s not a scenario they’re unfamiliar with. In the history of the organization, Boston has found themselves in six previous ALCS Game 6’s, and they’re a perfect 6-0. Alex Cora will be trotting out his ace, Nathan Eovaldi, but it was a former ace that was sharing his experiences in the situation.
