While in Boston Jonny Gomes received the nickname The Grinder which was appointed to him by his teammates after watching his style of play. In his first year in Boston Gomes batted .247 with 13 home r and 52 RBI while accounting for 49 r himself. During the ALDS and ALCS the Red Sox were 6-0 when Gomes started in left field. In Game 4 of the World Series Gomes broke an 0 for 9 slide by hitting a 387 foot three run home run to help the Red Sox take the lead. He was not in the original lineup for that game but was added during batting practice after Red Sox outfielder Shane Victorino was scratched due to back pain.
