I got lots of memories, but gotta love this Kirk Gibson at-bat. I needed something to feel good, because the Las Vegas shit is bumming me out big time. So here, friends.

The Golden Age of Baseball for me right there. And I was a huge A's fan around then before I moved on to the Giants. haha

I love Gibson's stance. I can't imagine how intimidating that must have been to a pitcher. He just squares away and goes, ok, let's go.

edit: as I rewatch it, when he took that pitch to make it 2-2. That is when it got amazing for me.

I'm not a huge baseball fan but I've gotta be a homer and jump on my local teams bandwagon.

LET'S GO D-BACKS!!

How did those As teams only win 1 of those 3 series.

As a Mariners fan we dont have many October moments to remember but I remember this one for sure. I still get goosebumps listening to this:

Until tonight I haven't sat down and watched a full game since the World Series last year, have to say this game is delivering tonight.

God bless the bunt

edit: the next to last pitch had evil movement. That was an amazing pitch. Too bad next one kind of hung there lol.

Been a Rockies fan for as long as I've watched baseball, this game is intense. Fucking giving up 3 runs in the first from their top pitcher

It looks like it's over now, but it's looked like it was over like 3 times now, crazy. Honestly regardless of who wins I think a 1 game wild card elimination is kinda bullshit after 162 games. Should be a 2 out of 3 at least, too much random shit can happen in any given game.

It certainly makes the games intense though!

Just got back from downtown. Cleveland hopping tonight. Took the back routes to my house about 10 minutes away, but was stuck behind a Ford Escort driving sloow and blasting "And the Cradle (Will Rock)" during some construction or something on W. 25th. Not gonna complain. Go Tribe.
