Roy Oswalt spun a seven-inning gem to help the Houston Astros beat the St. Louis Cardinals in a decisive Game 6 of the 2005 National League Championship Series.
Prior to that performance, Houston owner Drayton McLane promised Oswalt an all-purpose tractor. Oswalt dazzled and ceded a single run in the series-clinching game, then signed an addendum to his contract to formally receive a Caterpillar D6N XL for his 1,000-acre ranch.
"Each year, with our players, I ask them what their goals are," McLane said. "I said, 'Roy, what is one of your goals?' He said, 'To own a bulldozer.' That kind of took me back a little bit. I had never heard that before."
