The tie-breaking game between two baseball teams in a series. They call it a rubber match because the winning pitcher receives a tote bag full of condoms. All rubber matches are sponsored by Trojan. The policy was implemented in 1957 when pitcher Guy Hugesac died of "explosive syphilis" while pitching game 7 of the World Series.
Josh Beckett won the rubber match today! Thank God he won't be dying of explosive syphilis any time soon.
