Y’all still good there in Kansas City?
Everyone breathing? In your nose, out your mouth. This one isn’t over yet.
Alex Gordon belted a solo home run to deep center field in the bottom of the ninth to tie up Game 1 of the World Series between the Royals and New York Mets on Tuesday night and the entire area of Kansas City may have just lost their collective minds.

Gordon’s game-tying hit wasn’t just good for Kansas City either. It was also pretty historic:
Last game-tying HR in 9th inning of a WS game was Scott Brosius in 2001. Alex Gordon’s HR was 14 years in the making. Game tied at 4.
It was the first time Jeurys Familia had given up a run for the Mets in the entire postseason. His last blown save came just over three months ago.
