I don’t care who you
are. If you’re a diehard fan of any team
losing a big game hurts. I’ve had my
heart broken countless times as a Braves fan. I’ll never forget the dirty
play of Minnesota Twins first baseman Kent Hrbek in Game 2 of the 1991
World Series. Ron Gant had knocked a
single to left field in the third inning.
As he rounded first base, Twins pitcher Kevin Tapani threw the ball
behind Gant to Hrbek. Rather than just
tagging him he literally used his weight to wrestle Gant off the base by
wrapping his arm around his leg and lifting him off the bag to the delight of
Twins fans. The national television audience
and every fan in the Metrodome saw what Hrbek did but Umpire Drew Coble ruled
Gant out. To this day I still do a slow
burn over that controversial play.
A string of miscues
by the Mets last night in the eighth inning has the boys from the Big Apple in
a huge hole trailing the Royals three games to one. I think the Royals are unstoppable now and
last night’s eighth inning sealed the deal.
The first pitch for Game 5 will be at 8:15 PM ET from
Citi Field and can be seen on the big FOX.
GO ROYALS!
