O'Farrell started all five games at second base, batting third each time. He fielded flawlessly in the Series, making several fine plays. In my opinion, the best was a diving stop of a smash by Buck Herzog in the seventh inning of Game 1. He fired from his knees to nip Herzog at first, retiring the side and preventing a run from scoring.
He played a role in some of the Series' most dramatic moments, too. Pat scored the tying runs in the ninth innings of the Sox' victories in Games 1 and 2 of the Series, and his home run in Game 5 qualified as the game-winning hit. He broke a scoreless tie and gave the Sox a lead they'd never relinquish.
