I’ve watched this highlight more than Game 5 highlights
“In to try to close it on a Tuesday.”
I was there. 3 seats over from where the ball landed. Surreal moment
‘‘Twas there. 🥰
What made this moment so perfect were Hensley and Peña just barely managing to get on base.
We were all thinking the same thing that inning. “If we can just get it back to Yordan”but Peña had faded hard in the second half of that season and was really struggling with Ks. Hensley managed to get a HBP (on ball 4), and I don’t even remember how Peña got on base. But the second I saw that Ray was coming into the game, I knew Yordan was going to end it right there.
My dad was on a business trip in Memphis and he knew Yordan was going to end the game. It felt like we’d already won before Yordan even stepped into the box.
I have never felt so sure about a home run in my life as I did in that moment, and I may never be that sure of one again. The home run coming to clutch the game felt so amazing because it felt like the only possibility. Peña’s and Hensley’s ABs were so stressful, and then Servais just handed us the game after they reached.
No one talks about how ass JV was that game because of that 9th inning.
