The World Series ended last night when Freese hit that double in the bottom of the ninth inning while Cruz was practicing his ballet leaps out in right field. They only had a game 7 to get rid of the rest of the beer that they had already ordered for the series. I watched the first inning (2-2) tonight and then put on a movie. I didn’t miss anything.
I did the same thing, just monitored the score on the Internet, I knew what was coming.
Cruz was more scared of crashing into the wall than he was of being the World Series goat. And the thing is, had he actually caught the ball he’d have had room to spare before hitting that wall. ...as he undoubtedly knows by now. He’ll be thinking about that for the rest of his life.
Cruz's mis-play will go down in baseball history along with Bill Buckner's error in Game 6 of the 1986 World Series.
The joke about Buckner goes:
"Buckner tried to commit suicide after the Red Sox lost the 1986 World Series, but the bullet went between his legs ..."
